Piece of Kapton foil (irregular 3x1"), salvaged from Apollo

of Kapton foil, gold-colored front with silver backing was
attached to its outer skin, playing a critical role by reflecting
sun’s heat. Most foil burned off during fiery re-entry of Apollo
11 into Earth’s atmosphere. Presented here is a tiny piece of
