Read “A House in Space” by Henry S F Cooper. There was some controversy about the book (astronauts didn’t all like the East they were portrayed iirc) but it is a quick and very entertaining read.

Skylab was huge inside. Love the shots of the astronauts doing gymnastics.

Skylab was “only” 6.7 meters in diameter. If/when starship gets a crewed variant / HLS first gets crewed it’s gonna be pretty crazy the amount of space they will have lol.
