NASA's Skylab was one of the greatest scientific achievements of the 1970s. But in 1979, the 77-ton space station suddenly began to fall. As the world watched, it slowly lost altitude, becoming an uncontrolled, public countdown to disaster. On this week&rsquo;s Very Special Episodes,&nbsp;Dana Schwartz revisits the strange, tense, and darkly funny story of Skylab&rsquo;s final days &mdash; including the Australian teenager who found himself at the center of NASA&rsquo;s worst-case scenario. * On the Very Special Episodes podcast, we tell one incredible story each week. Follow Dana Schwartz, Zaron Burnett, and Jason English down a different rabbit hole every Wednesday.
