A Little Old-Fashioned, But That's All Right
</hdr><body>
<p>By David Ellis/Reported by Sidney Urquhart

<p> A group of aerospace engineers say there's a "pre-owned"
alternative to the proposed $40 billion space station. They are
calling on NASA to refurbish and deploy the backup SKYLAB
workshop that was built but never used. The original model
orbited the earth in 1973-74, and its understudy is on display
at the National Air and Space Museum in Washington. The experts
say launching the venerable Skylab--which they claim could
easily handle the research--would cost a mere $4 billion.
