I do wonder how having Skylab around would affect the early Shuttle program. I know there were some strong factions at NASA that wanted to intentionally de-orbit it because they thought having it around would threaten the prospects of building a shuttle-launched "true space station". NASA never did come to a full decision before Skylab came down on it's own

I've always liked the plan to resuscitate Skylab for the Shuttle era. It's a pity the Shuttle ended up being far too delayed to see it through
