The Apollo 11 spacecraft was comprised of two vehicles: a command module named " Columbia " and the lunar module " Eagle " Thermal polyimide tape made the trip to the moon with the first astronauts to land there in 1969 .

The tape's outer layer was silver in color to reflect sunlight, while underneath was gold to expel radiation.

By the time Columbia was delivered to the Smithsonian in 1971 , only small traces of the reflective film remained.
