The walls of the LM were 0.012 inches thick. A tad under 4x the thickness of a soda can. You can imagine why hitting anything might ruin your day.

- perl4ever 7y agoThis raised the question, for me, of just how thick is the sheet metal on a typical earth-bound automobile. It appears that steel panels in modern cars are probably something like 0.03 or 0.04 inches thick. Aluminum panels may be 0.05" or 0.06", possibly thicker or multiple layers.
