The outside heat shield isn't even properly sealed together. There are gaps everywhere in the white exerior. Its terrible. It looks like a middle school art project. You are living in a fantasy land if you think that the heat shield of a space craft which kick up plumes of dust should be so flimsily secured and held together.
This kind of nonsense makes me quite angry.
I think it's very poor form to criticise a design from a position of total ignorance. You clearly didn't understand about the Kapton tape thing - I don't believe you know the first thing about how the LEM was designed.
I don't pretend that I understand all of the details either - but if I don't KNOW something is wrong - I'm not going to seek education on the subject and not just jump in and criticise it without understanding. Intellectual honesty is important - and there have been several times here when I've even defended parts of FET against incorrect accusations.
But if you're just going to jump in - as a complete ignoramus on the subject and start telling us how the LEM is put together so shoddily...then you get no respect as an intellectual debater.
If I had to guess (and it's only a guess) as to why the sheets of insulation are layered and crumpled like that - I'd say that they probably couldn't pull it tight because the massive temperature variations over the vehicle as the sun tracks across it might result in it tearing. It's a very thin material (has to be super-lightweight) - so it's probably not very strong.
But I'm happy to admit that I don't know the answer on that one.
For sure, I'm not going to just jump in and tell people that some of the best engineering minds on the planet made a botched up lander. That shows no respect and is frankly beneath you.
You have no EVIDENCE that the thing is not in fact a piece of clever design that's beyond your ability to understand...you're guessing (actually, more like "hoping") that it's an easily detectable fake...and it's definitely not that. It's either real - or it's an extraordinarily clever and hugely sophisticated fake.
