Upon close inspection one might notice that the Lunar Lander, a supposed six billion dollar hallmark of American engineering, is in truth made out of cardboard paper, a few old curtain rods, a roll of roofing paper, some floodlight holders, gold foil, and lots and lots of scotch tape to hold it all together on the hostile environment of the moon's surface.Let's run through the list.
- Cardboard paper. I had to look this up; apparently, it's an alloy called Inconel and can resist heat quite effectively. It's expectably battered and occasionally punctured by asteroid impacts.
- A few old curtain rods. So then, you saw a truss structure, and automatically assumed it was made of curtain rods? We call that confirmation bias.
- A roll of roofing paper. I don't know what it actually is, but it's definitely there by design as a reflective surface.
- Some floodlight holders. I'm not entirely sure what part of the image this refers to.
- Gold foil. It's actually Kapton, which is weird because my first guess would have been copper.
- Scotch tape. I don't see any of that here.
