Skylab

Skylab was a space station launched and operated by NASA and was the United States' first space station. Skylab orbited Earth from 1973 to 1979, and included a workshop, a solar observatory, and other systems. It was launched unmanned by a modified Saturn V rocket, with a weight of 150,300 pounds (68,175 kg). Three manned missions to the station, conducted between 1973 and 1974 using the Apollo Command/Service Module (CSM) atop the smaller Saturn IB, each delivered a three-astronaut crew. On the last two manned missions, an additional Apollo / Saturn IB stood by ready to rescue the crew in orbit if it was needed.

The station was damaged during launch when the micrometeoroid shield separated from the workshop and tore away, taking one of two main solar panel arrays with it and jamming the other one so that it could not deploy. This deprived Skylab of most of its electrical power, and also removed protection from intense solar heating, threatening to make it unusable. The first crew was able to save it in the first in-space major repair, by deploying a replacement heat shade and freeing the jammed solar panels.

    Schoolboy

    by: Mustard Plug

    Your rosy lips tease me when you speak
    And the way you smell just makes me freak
    The sound of your voice is giving me chills
    And the warmth of your skin gives me such a thrill
    Your giving me willies and shivers up my spine
    One look at you and I'm just left behind
    Girl your an apple that is in my eye
    Cause your as warm as fart and as sweet as pie
    One look at you and I don't want to be a loner (Chorus)
    Girl you make me feel like a schoolboy with a boner
    Since you crossed the path nothing was the same
    Your simple chance got a bunch of my brain
    I can't hold my lunch and your making me sweat
    My life is in chaos since the way that we met
    I trip over my feet
    I walk into walls
    My voice is always quivering
    I'm taking the fall
    When your not around my ozziness spare
    But when you say my name girl I'm walking on air
    One look at you and I don't want to be a loner (Chorus)
    Girl you make me feel like a schoolboy with a boner
    Ooi, hey, Ooi, hey
    I'm giving up my hope
    I'm hocking at the pawn shop
    I should have known better
    Should have known it be a long shot
    I made my mistakes
    Made them from the start
    I should have followed my head instead of my heart
    (It's my soap and I'll wash as fast as I want to)
    Well I got no choice
    Got to jump in the pool
    Got to go head first though I feel like a fool
    Got to say what I feel
    Got to stake my claim
    Got to act like a nerd
    Got to go insane
    Got to swallow my pride
    It's really nothing to lose
    If there's a chance in hell then its worth all I do
    Got to mean what I say
    Got to say what I mean
    Cause your the only honey who is making my scene
    One look at you and I don't want to be a loner (Chorus)
    Girl you make me feel like a schoolboy with a boner
