While the one- to two-week Gemini and Apollo missions were like camping trips, a Skylab mission was more like living in a house. Because astronaut crews stayed for one, two, or three months, the orbital workshop was designed for "habitability."
Skylab was reasonably comfortable and spacious, with more amenities than previous spacecraft. Among the features especially appreciated by the crews were the large window for viewing Earth, the galley and wardroom with a table for group meals, the private sleeping quarters, and a shower custom-designed for use in weightlessness.
