Sustainability another of their commie dreams
To: Red Badger
It might not be bad for meteoroid resistance, because the fibers would be less prone to having nice clean holes blasted through. But otherwise, sustainability? That part’s good and nuts. :^)

I remember looking into the Mercury capsule of Alan Shepard hanging in the Smithsonian Air and Space Museum...A panel with switches, knobs and such was what looked like walnut wood....

Sustainability? Yeah, that’s silly.
Insulation? RF permeability? Strength? Those are interesting properties.

A panel with switches, knobs and such was what looked like walnut wood.... Phenolic composite. It's brown. Looks like wood. Was very highly regarded in aerospace and electronics back then. Has since been overtaken by fiberglass composites and carbon-fiber composites in the decades since.
