Reinscorched
Currently 41 years old, NASA's Command Module CSM-106 Charlie Brown from Apollo 10 is on loan to the London Science Museum.
On May 29th 1969 it set the world speed record for a manned vehicle, at 24,791mph. The heat shield is brown and looks like it was burned to a crisp, and the original aluminiumised PET skin is gone and looks for all the world like the module is made of wood.
