[i]The foil that is in the newer acrylics flown on Apollo 17 is not the exterior kapton polymide tape, it's a liner foil used under the outer ablator material and it's thicker than kapton foil. The thicker foil is silver on both sides, whereas the .00085 kapton foil is gold on the spacecraft side and silver on the outside surface.[/i]
