Kuten hyvin usein lentävien laitteiden kehitysprojekteissa laitteiden painon pitäminen kurissa oli Apollo-ohjelmassakin suuri haaste.
"... since weight was an important factor in 1965. The lander had gained even more weight during the early months of the year than the command and service modules.
...to approve an increase in lander weight to 14,850 kilograms, including crew and equipment.
...the lander might get too heavy to do its job.
...searching the structure for every chance to shave bulk off structural members.
...So designers pored over already approved drawings, looking for ways to lighten the craft.
...By the end of 1965, Scrape and SWIP had pruned away 1,100 kilograms, providing a comfortable margin below the control weight limit.
One of the more striking changes to come from this drive for a lighter spacecraft was the substitution of aluminum-mylar foil thermal blankets for rigid heatshields. The gold wrapping characteristic of the lander's exterior saved 50 kilograms.
Alumiini-mylar kalvo jota käytettiin lämpösuojana painosyistä kiinteiden lämpösuojarakenteiden sijasta teki eräästä hienoimmasta ihmisen koskaan rakentamasta laitteesta "kultaisen".
