Skylab 3 Command and Service Modules being "unpacked" at the Manned Spacecraft Operations Building. Note the two-toned appearance of the Command Module, a thermal control measure due to the spacecraft's relatively fixed position while in orbit, i.e., one side always facing the sun. The silvery side predominantly visible here, is the earth-facing side.
