As the CSM didn't have any insulating foil it also had no means of keeping the fuel tanks for the RCS thrusters at an even temperature. You can't put insulating foil on a machine that is going to be launched through an atmosphere.<br /><br />See David Woods excellent "How Apollo Flew to the Moon" for more.OneBigMonkeyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05848865750227452987noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8051630750074978974.post-39132124422959492952017-02-01T01:28:02.463-08:002017-02-01T01:28:02.463-08:00This comment has been removed by a blog administrator.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8051630750074978974.post-77611740504363892992017-02-01T01:23:35.024-08:002017-02-01T01:23:35.024-08:00"Because the Command and Service modules -- m..."Because the Command and Service modules -- much bigger units than the LM -- were not wrapped."<br /><br />So they basically ran out of foil....is that it?

Regarding the "flimsy" vehicles from the Apollo mission....How does one stay cool in the vacuum of space within the boundaries of our solar system i.e. massively exposed on the sunlit side to radiation resulting in dramatic heating up of the sunlit materials and at the same a massive cool down of the materials in the shadow side....resulting in temperature variations of hundreds of degrees...?
