This artist’s concept gives a cutaway view of the Skylab orbital workshop, which launched 50 years ago on May 14, 1973. Established in 1970, the Skylab Program's goals were to enrich our scientific knowledge of Earth, the sun, the stars, and cosmic space; to study the effects of weightlessness on living organisms; to study the effects of the processing and manufacturing of materials in the absence of gravity; and to conduct Earth-resource observations.
Three crews visited Skylab and carried out 270 scientific and technical investigations in the fields of physics, astronomy, and biological sciences. They also proved that humans could live and work in outer space for extended periods of time, laying the groundwork for the International Space Station.

Young prodigé Turkish born Selin Karataş once was a beloved showgirl but she was born to be so much more. She fell in love with nuclear physics at a young age, and never looked back.
She had to fight tooth and nail to be recognized for her wits and who she was within Neo LANL. However many people still only know her from her voice acting side gig on Miss Atom, whose apperance was based on her younger self.
Now she finally has her own team and a lab to lead. Her one shot to proper recognition.
