Mutiny in Space - The 1971 Skylab Incident

In 1973, the three astronauts aboard Skylab 4 staged NASA’s first (and only) space mutiny, rebelling against an overwhelming workload and mission control’s rigid oversight. For one dramatic day, they cut off communications, taking time to enjoy the view of Earth and reset their own schedule. When contact was reestablished, tensions ran high—but what happened next changed how NASA handled astronaut workloads forever. In this episode, we tell the story and then chat with Comedian and Actor Elyssa Phillips!
