...final voyage set records that should last for years. If all goes well, Astronauts Gerald Carr, William Pogue and Edward Gibson will have traveled 34½ million miles in their 1,214 revolutions around the earth, made four long space walks and watched the sun rise and set more than 1,300 times. In their Apollo ferry ship, they will be carrying 900 lbs. of scientific experiments, thousands of pictures of the earth, sun and that elusive visitor to the solar system, the comet Kohoutek. Magnetic tapes holding scientific data about the earth alone could stretch for 19 miles...
...this followed a very shaky start. Pogue and Carr came down with motion sickness shortly after liftoff. Pressing hard to keep up with their heavy work load, the astronauts bungled several experiments and misunderstandings arose between crew and Mission Control. That, in turn, raised concern among NASA officials about the ability of the men to endure prolonged isolation and weightlessness. To compound those troubles, one of the space station's three stabilizing gyroscopes broke down and another periodically faltered -threatening the photographic studies of sun and earth, which require an extremely stable vantage point. Finally, the crew grew...
...between astronauts and Mission Control, relations improved enormously. So did the spacemen's performance. Helped by a steady program of exercising (bicycle and treadmill), the astronauts made a physical as well as emotional adjustment to their life in orbit. They also got more tune to relax; for amusement, Carr would open a jar of peanuts and "swim" after them as they drifted off, swallowing them up like a hungry guppy. "From what we've seen on Skylab," Astronaut-Physician Story F. Musgrave said last week, "I don't think there is any limit on how long...

...minutes and five penalties into the final period, Harvard capped the scoring with its second power play tally. Carr came down the left side with the puck and Sagaser came way out of the net to try and block the breakaway. Kevin calmly flipped the puck across to a waiting Steve Dagdigian who fired it into the open...
