aluminum and 6mm foil

Wait ...

You describe 6mm thick sheetmetal as FOIL????

That's not foil, it's plate and way too thick to be used for the skin of an airplane, much less a spacecraft. The problem, here, isn't that 6mm plate was used for the skin of the LEM. It wasn't. The problem here is that you don't know what your're talking about and it shows.

Then there's this:

redesign-on-the-fly homeless shelter

Really? You expect to be taken seriously with that? < shakes head >

Finally, you don't seem to understand the problems with SSTO, or direct ascent to the Moon.

Here's some material from 1962 on the topic. I'm sure you can find more if you look beyond your non-credible "aulis" website.

Yes, when thinking 6/1000ths, I typed '6mm' for flimsy foil. Sorry to so confuse the easily confused!

As for the rest, why the tape to close gouges? Why half-inch + gaps at the seams? What NASA construction engineer don't cut mating edges to within a half inch? Why from Apollo 11 to 12 does foil "shielding" disappear? You imply you can't condescend to be called to account for that?

Gee, isn't the total lack of radiation shielding through and beyond the VABs rather important to sustaining life? NASA claims it accidentally destroyed that technology. That's as credible as Joe Biden's claims that he never talked to Hunter about his overseas business.
