1
00:00:09,509 --> 00:00:11,845
We have a liftoff.

2
00:00:11,845 --> 00:00:14,781
The Skylab lifting off the pad now.

3
00:00:18,318 --> 00:00:19,686
We can see that it is possible

4
00:00:19,686 --> 00:00:23,790
to live for a long intervals in space
at more or less

5
00:00:23,790 --> 00:00:27,093
normal living circumstances 
and in a normal living environment.

6
00:00:27,594 --> 00:00:31,664
And once we see, as we are doing now
in Skylab, that these things are possible,

7
00:00:31,965 --> 00:00:35,735
then we can begin to appreciate better
all of the things that it is possible

8
00:00:35,735 --> 00:00:39,272
to do from this vantage point,
far above the Earth’s surface.

9
00:00:40,040 --> 00:00:43,743
And I believe the potential
and the implications and the extrapolation

10
00:00:43,743 --> 00:00:47,247
of what we now have is really so vast
that it takes a man

11
00:00:47,247 --> 00:00:52,252
with a very good ability
to foresee the future, to even guess
