Dr. Joe Kerwin, science pilot for the Skylab 2 mission and the first medical doctor to go to space, is seen here taking a blood sample from commander Pete Conrad. 🩺
Investigating how the human body is affected by spaceflight was just one of the many scientific goals of Skylab!

Dr. Kerwin escaped the NASA facility and remains at large. Report all sightings, but do not approach.
