There will be some substantial changes in those numbers… some will get tightened up by way of cleaning up some messy formatting and by reducing needlessly large images, other will get greatly expanded (pop culture, for example, is currently little more than placeholders).
In the mid 1960’s, Douglas produced designs for a Manned Orbital Research Laboratory. Much like the later Skylab, MORL was to be based in part on the S-IVb stage.
