STS-129
Space Shuttle Atlantis lifts off on the 129th shuttle flight, an 11-day mission to the International Space Station. Equipment, supplies, and spare parts are delivered, enough to make in-orbit maintenance of the station possible for several years. Aboard Atlantis for her 31st flight are Commander Charles Hobaugh, Pilot Barry Wilmore, and mission specialists Mike Foreman, Leland Melvin, Robert Satcher and Randy Bresnik; ISS crewmember Nicole Stott returns to Earth via Atlantis, and is the last ISS crewmember to return home on a shuttle.
The Prisoner: Night 2
American cable channel AMC broadcasts the third and fourth episodes of its six-part remake of The Prisoner, starring Jim Caviziel as Number Six and Sir Ian McKellen as Number Two. With its more modern imagery and less ambiguous storytelling style, the remake proves to be controversial with fans of the original 1960s Prisoner.
Doctor Who: Time Crash
As part of its annual Children In Need telethon, BBC1 airs a Doctor Who “mini-episode”, Time Crash, starring David Tennant and Peter Davison. This is the first guest appearance of one of the classic series Doctors in the new series, which gets both the short and the charity a great deal of publicity. Ironically, the short is directed by Graeme Harper, who also directed Davison’s final regular episode in the role in 1984 – so Davison’s final Doctor Who director remains unchanged.

Cosmos: Journeys In Space And Time
The eighth episode of Carl Sagan’s groundbreaking science documentary series Cosmos premieres on PBS. A popular history of science and scientific theory vs. tradition and superstition, segueing into Sagan’s field of expertise (astrophysics), Cosmos is a major milestone in American documentary filmmaking and the popularization of science and the scientific method (and makes an instant celebrity out of Sagan).
Monkey: Monkey Goes Wild About Heaven
The first episode of the English-dubbed Japanese action series Monkey premieres on BBC2, starring Masaaki Sakai. The series is a translation and dub of a fancifully satirical Japanese adaptation of the Chinese novel “Journey To The West”, and quickly gains a cult following in the UK. 
Saving Skylab?
NASA and its contractors mull over a report outlining an ambitious (and, considering the continuous delays to the first launch of the Space Shuttle program, overly optimistic) plan to reactivate and occupy the Apollo-era space station Skylab for use by shuttle crews. The plan involves outfitting the ailing station with new solar power panels and equipment, and performing repairs to make it habitable for future astronauts. Despite the best-laid plans, however, the shuttle’s first launch comes after Skylab tumbles back through Earth’s atmosphere.

You’re listening to Earth FM
The first transmission from Earth designed to be a message for interstellar listeners is broadcast from the newly-refurbished Arecibo Radio Telescope in Puerto Rico. Weighing in at 210 bytes, the message is a binary transmission that, when properly assembled, provides a graphical representation of Earth’s solar system, a human being, the makeup of human DNA and the elements from which it is constructed, and the population of Earth. Though the Arecibo dish is pointed in the direction of the M13 globular cluster at the time of the message’s transmission, that cluster will have moved in the 25,000 years it takes for the message to reach that location (and, in any case, Earth and its entire solar system will have moved in the 25,000 additional years it would take to receive a reply), so the message is more of an interstellar technology demo than a message in a bottle.

Skylab 4
The third and final crew of the first American space station, Skylab 4, lifts off for an 84-day stay. The crew’s tasks include medical and biological experiments, solar observations (including the first space-based recording of solar flare origination), and observations of Comet Kohoutek. Crewmembers Gerald Carr, William Pogue and Edward Gibson have a frank discussion with ground controllers about their extremely busy work schedule (similar to heated discussions between Apollo 7’s crew and Houston) halfway through the nearly-three-month mission. Skylab is left powered down, but still habitable, at the end of the crew’s stay, in anticipation that future Space Shuttle crews will someday occupy Skylab.
