Skylab

It was 35 years ago today, July 11, 1979, when the US space station Skylab re-entered the atmosphere. Most of it burned up, but some large parts fell in the Australian outback near Perth. Nobody was hurt, but according to legend one jackrabbit was killed by falling debris and the Australian government filed the US $400 for littering.
