Aha! Interesting nugget of information on the Soviet LK Moon Lander.

Special insulation was developed, and 90 layers would be wrapped around key components!

It may have looked fragile and angular, but for me that made the Apollo LEM, in some ways, humanities first proper spacecraft, It was clearly not intended to work in an atmosphere or strong gravity. Deep space was it's natural home. pic.twitter.com/JxfvbN0JYZ

N. Kolchitsky, 1957
"There is a rumble. The ship shudders and breaks away from the concrete field of the missile. A few moments – and, having turned into a thin arrow, it will disappear in the blue of the sky "#spaceart #sciart pic.twitter.com/JYPNDdeXB2
