NASA astronauts check out a full-scale mockup of the Skylab Multiple Docking Adapter in July 1970. Left to right: Al Bean, Pete Conrad, Don Holmquest, Don Lind, Dick Truly, Rusty Schweickart, Walt Cunningham and Bob Overmyer.

Never saw this pic before, Ed, but reverse the names of Cunningham and Schweickart as Walt is at Overmyer's right.

You are right, Ken. I copied the caption from a similar B&W photo, where Cunningham and Schweickart switched places. Hadn't noticed that. Thanks, changed it.

Never seen this photo before of the Skylab Docking Adapter and it's always great seeing astronauts standing in the foreground.
