NASA coverage said when returning from the moon, the heat shield gets about twice as hot as a spacecraft returning from low earth orbit. So looking forward to seeing how that heat shield did.

A few years ago, they showed pictures of a team a NASA engineers in a museum. They were allowed to peel apart layers of the heat shield on an old Apollo spacecraft. They did that because the old drawings did not give them enough detail how it was done in those days!
