Scientists anticipated putting Skylab into a higher orbit. In March 2016, Chinese flight controllers lost contact with Tiangong 1 and it was allowed to fall from space. If NASA had used it, imagine the humor that would have taken place during the first Apollo broadcasts enroute to the moon, or Neil Armstrong's famous words if he sounded like Donald Duck. the space station would be in [67] the Sun each orbit
Plus, use of nitrogen potentially means the need to pre-breathe pure oxygen before a spacewalk to prevent the bends (at least when going from a sea level O2 N2 pressure as on shuttle to a 5 psi suit pressure). It

So as the spacecraft rose into orbit, the pressure would bleed down to 5 psi and by the time the astronauts removed their helmets, it would be nearly pure O2 at 5 psi for the rest of the trip.
