After accepting they would not make it to the moon first, the Soivet Union shifted thier focus on creating space stations for scientific and miltiary observations in low Earth orbit. These stations, called Salyuts, saw several iterations in the 1970s. Not to be out done, the US launched its own Space Station - Skylab - built from left over Apollo Program parts following the final Apollo mission. The three US crews to call Skylab home spent nearly six months in space collectively, but tow of the crews faced serious problems that threatened their missions.
