Seriously, that's the kind of construction people trusted their lives with in outer fucking space? I've seen better construction after 6 drunken Mexicans spent a Friday night fixing each others cars, right before they sold them all to each other.

Don't you know, it was all a hoax performed on a Hollywood sound stage.

Wow, that was nice, if I had inserted images off, I still wouldn't have missed it.
I mean I think it looks alright. I really can't visually evaluate the outside of spaceships like I would a car, though.

Without knowing what part of the spacecraft that is, it's not fair to say that it's shoddy design/workmanship.

Right, duct tape is probably OK for some parts of the spacecraft, as the entire thing doesn't have to go to re-entry thanks to the recent invention of teleportation.

I'm sure that thin sheet metal (which seemed to be what was in that picture) was perfectly acceptable for the disposable items (like the lunar lander).
Waitasec. There was alumnium foil and tape involved, at least what I saw. That's what I was going off of.
