Hoping this is in the correct thread/topic...I just returned from the public tour of KSC, (Well worth it...most of my interest is in Mercury, Gemini, Apollo but the Shuttle stuff is well done!) and have many, many questions. First- On the underside of the LM Descent stage, there is a radiator-looking assembly between the engine bell and the rear landing strut. What might this be...?
Second- Why the multiple colors of foil on the vehicle?

Who knows, in the Future we might be able to Locate Snoopy and bring him back
1.. For example, was there enough room, service area, etc at The Cape for integrating and testing the LEM?2..Also, was there not a discussion as to whether there should be self-destruct mechanisms on all vehicles launched? How would this effect a moon-landeing vehicle?
