Your Reply: HTML is ON UBB Code is ON Smilies Legend	[QUOTE]Originally posted by Robert Pearlman: [B]The restoration effort now has its [URL=http://saveskylab.org/]own website[/URL]. On the site they are posting updates to their work and photographs from the Skylab 1G Trainer (including archival images of its original appearance). From their initial restoration plan: <BLOCKQUOTE>[i]Our 1st effort is to stop any further damage. To do this we are removing as much experiment hardware as we can. We are seeking a Tyvek cover (30 feet in diameter) to cover the top of the Primary deck and keep the rain out. We are also working to arrest the mold and rust. About 30% of the training mock-up is made of wood and most has suffered damage or been destroyed. We will remove, store and save all we can. We will remove all the Beta cloth from the 1st deck (hot air ducting, sleep quarters partitions).[/i]</BLOCKQUOTE> Also noted: <BLOCKQUOTE>[i]Next June Skylab (it's elements) will be moved into the new Saturn V building.[/i]</BLOCKQUOTE>[/B][/QUOTE]
