Comment
Inside the capsule there is a genuine piece of space flown shuttle insulation. This material was taken from the payload bay area of orbiter Discovery and was flown on mission STS - 85. While in space it helped protect the orbiter's components from extreme heat and cold temperatures during spaceflight conditions.Interesting fact
