Happy birthday, Skylab 4 astronaut Edward Gibson!


Edward Gibson, born November 8, 1936 in Buffalo, New York, made one trip into space aboard Skylab 4, the last manned mission to the space station.  With Commander Gerald Carr and Pilot William Pogue, he spent 84 days in space, which was a record at that time.  It was the only flight for all three men.

After his retirement from NASA, he wrote two novels, Reach and In The Wrong Hands, both science fiction about space travel.
