Werner, not Warner.

Werner von Braun built models of notional space stations as early as the 50's. He drew sketches. And he had some interesting ideas about how might work. NASA and the US gov't had no plans to build these. The technology did not and does not exist. Even modern space stations are nowhere near what von Braun was touting. The idea that NASA planned to build these is purest fantasy.

In other news, you should call NASA and tell them they're wrong to say: "Skylab Paved Way for International Space Station." I'm sure they'll immediately recognize your superior knowledge on the subject and recant.

I'm using speech to text I'm surprised it didn't misspell more words, I think there's quite a few people at nasa that know what a disaster Skylab was and that it had nothing to do with the international space station, but you believe whatever you want to

No, it was multiple factors, the public believing that we were shooting a lot of money into space and politicians needing to line their pockets in different ways. If we let the scientist run it we'd have been on Mars years ago. All things being equal the US would have only continued to fund a lunar program at the rate they had if the Soviets had gotten there first.
