  Re: Hot Paper?
 
(...) Note that I think the LDEF had some paper/cardboard panels, you might try spelunking the NASA site for the writeup on what happened to them. I could be misremembering, maybe LDEF only had metal and plastic panels. But there were over 500 of (...) (24 years ago, 28-Nov-00, to lugnet.off-topic.geek)
