The Mylar space blanket was developed by NASA to reduce heat loss for spacecraft as well as humans.
The material is a thin sheet of plastic that’s been coated with an atomically thin metallic layer. The result is an extremely lightweight blanket that is capable of reflecting up to 97% of radiated heat.
This material is commonly used on the exterior surfaces of spacecraft for thermal control. It was used by NASA to create the first passive communications satellite, a 131 ft (40 m) balloon called Echo II, and the Kapton space blanket gave the Apollo Lunar Module its distinctive gold color.
Their small size makes space blankets perfect to toss in camping packs or emergency kit. Plus, they can be used to reflect the sun as a distress signal.
Dimensions: 130 x 210 cm
Keep away from infants. Do not cover anyone’s face with the blanket as this can result in suffocation.

this will be incredibly useful for both decorative/ memorabilia, and outdoor situation purposes; living in the northeast, especially during this winter, it's definitely been frigid around here))
really fascinating to read into the details of how space blankets work and am very happy to now actually own one. (-:
definitely recommend, 10/10

It got ripped in less than a month. It's basically just a novelty to keep in the package, if you try to use it for anything where you need to reflect thermal radiation, radio waves, visible light, etc. it will probably end up shredded quickly, and it makes a lot of noise and is difficult to fold back up. This also took an entire week to ship from Tulsa to OKC. I got stuff literally from Hawai'i before I got this and I don't think I can blame the storms at the time for that.

Wife thought space blankets might be useful in the car, in case we get stranded, I agreed.
