Smilies Legend
[i]The astronauts, Lieut. Col Gerald P. Carr of the Marines, Lieut. Col. William R. Pogue of the Air Force and Dr. Edward G. Gibson, a civilian scientist, returned from the earth‐orbiting Skylab space station Friday and underwent initial physical examinations on board the U.S.S. New Orleans, their recovery ship. They completed a third day of post‐splashdown tests before a brief welcoming ceremony at dockside in San Diego. Then they were flown to Ellington Air Force Base near here for a joyful reunion this evening with their families and a warm welcome from a crowd of about 350, mostly space workers and fellow astronauts.[/i]
