Description:

For 84 days—from November 16, 1973,nbsp;to February 8, 1974—mission commander Jerry Carr orbited the Earth on board the American space station Skylab 4, setting a new record for time in space. Had the Apollo 19 mission not been cancelled, Carr could have been the 16th man to walk on the Moon. Covering his record-setting time in space asnbsp;well as his training in the U.S. Marine Corps, his career with NASA, and his retirement years, this biography brings the story of Gerald P. Carrnbsp;to life.
