Breakup of Saturn V second stage sets Skylab debris fall in view
NASA says the 83,500 pound Saturn V second stage broke into two large sections during descent from orbit and will disintegrate in the upper atmosphere. Smaller pieces trail the main fragment as the debris likely burns up with a remote chance of hitting land or water. The Skylab station remains in orbit until 1981 with thousands of pieces already returning to Earth this era.
