The eighth in a mini-series on a work-in-progress research project on NASA's Skylab programme, and particularly the Skylab-4 mission. This episode gets under the hood of a 16-minute audio clip from Jerry Carr and Ed Gibson's EVA (i.e. spacewalk) of the 29th December 1973, to see if we can get some kind of understanding of positioning and using cameras to take pictures of the Sun in, as Gibson puts it, "The Great Outdoors".
