The ninth 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 fairly short audio clip from Jerry Carr and Ed Gibson's EVA (i.e. spacewalk) of the 29th December 1973, that covers their observations of the much-vaunted (at the time) Comet Kohoutek.
