>Skylab's short existence was planned from the start. The US congress did not grant enough funds for a project, with which the station could've been kept in orbit with a booster stage.
>Skylab began breaking apart after 18:00 Finnish time. By then it had already passed Ascension Island in the Atlantic. Disintegration continued as Skylab passed over the South African coast. First pieces fell in the ocean west of Australia.
