About the Event
Carr was among the 19 astronauts chosen by NASA in April 1966. He was contacted by General Thomas Stafford and served as part of the astronaut support crews and as CAPCOM for the Apollo 8 and Apollo 12 missions. Additionally, he contributed to the development and testing of the Lunar Roving Vehicle. Initially slated to be the lunar module pilot for Apollo 19 and potentially walk on the moon, this mission was ultimately canceled by NASA in 1970.
During his command of the Skylab 4 mission, Carr and his inexperienced crew carried out a significant scientific program, which included numerous biomedical studies aimed at examining the impact of extended space travel on the human body.
For more than three decades, Musick's distinctive environmental art has sparked discussions that enhance the aesthetics of various spaces, including residential, corporate, hospitality, business office, and medical environments.
