It was covered in Kapton foil with an aluminum backing. That was solar radiation shielding to prevent the underlying structure from heating up.

I was just trying to communicate that it looked cheap from a real "eyes on" perspective for those that hadn't seen it in real life. When it comes to NASA, there isn't a source of info that I trust completely.
Okay. But you have to figure out how to live, if you basically cannot rely on anything written or anyone who might write it. "Trust" is overrated. It implies that you can let others do your thinking for you. The better defense is knowledge: learning enough that you can correlate what you've learned with what you are told. You have to rely on sources that are used for real purposes, like engineering, physics, chemistry, or medicine. Textbooks, not internet articles.
Especially be critical of those who denounce everything as lies, for they are the camp from which operators like Jim Jones comes from. Civilization is a collective enterprise; it disintegrates if it is impossible to find truth.
Sounds a lot like ”trust the science” to me, we learned from covid that academics were the easiest to fool since they blindly trust anyone in a labcoat.

Before you can trust or distrust, you have to learn the science. Ask questions and find out. That's how Covid was seen through.
Don't forget they invented tang for nasa. That's proof rheybwent to the moon. Plus a moon pen.
