Hi Graham I was just trying to show that this is not the first time wood has been used in a spacecraft. I have my doubts wood would ever pass the NASA Out-Gassing specs to fly on a NASA flight. Maybe if you left the wood in a vacuum chamber for a month.....hihi Kent WA5VJB On Sunday, January 3, 2021, 11:15:57 AM CST, Graham c [email protected] wrote:

Kent,
I got that I was not aware than wood had been as a heat shield material by anyone and found that interesting enough I did some searching for some more details, for example here:
https://www.newscientist.com/article/mg14619738-300-space-oddities/
It was va3hj's response that I found confusing.
