McDonnell Douglas (Seal Beach, CA) did a study on modifying the to modify the Skylab as a moon-orbiting observatory and station Jim Craig recalls: I proposed this to MD in 1970 (as a 12 year-old!), with sketches and mission summary that I hand drew. The proposal would sent a "wet-tank" S-IVB stage Skylab to a moon orbit, the crew quarters to be further outfitted by subsequent Apollo crews after excess fuel purging. The station would conduct in-depth scientific surveys and mapping of the moon.
