There's a roughly contemporary book "Dragonfly: NASA and the Crisis Aboard Mir" by Bryan Burrough that I recall being somewhat controversial when it came out but also very carefully reported. I do recommend it still.
"Skylab's orbit eventually decayed and it disintegrated in the atmosphere on July 11, 1979, scattering debris across the Indian Ocean and Western Australia."
Skylab was literally a modified Apollo mission, the only part of the Apollo Applications Program that ended up actually implemented. As you may know, the Apollo 18–20 flights ended up cancelled, and any plans for continuation flights involving longer (initially 14-day) stays on the surface and an eventual lunar base were scrapped.
Simple, functional design. Obviously not...quite the intended use of the HTML table elements, but ah well, that era was fun. Tables and image maps and transparent GIFs!
