You claimed Skylab didn’t exist. You were wrong, moving the goalposts doesn’t change that.

Skylab was an orbiting space station the US built in the 70’s. It wasn’t in use for very long, but it was built and supported several missions. NASA credits it with paving the way for the ISS.

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.
