Fifty years ago, on May 25, 1973, Navy flight surgeon Captain Joseph Kerwin made history as the first American physician in space when taking part of the Skylab II mission. From May 25 to June 22, 1973, Kerwin and fellow crewmembers Charles Conrad and Paul Weitz spent a total of 672 hours and 49 minutes aboard the Skylab space station. As the crew’s only physician, Kerwin was also responsible for operating what could be called the first orbiting medical clinic. Since 1973, seven Navy physicians have followed Kerwin as NASA astronauts serving both as mission-specialists and pilots.
