I think if a rocket was made of tin foil it would certainly not be able to reach outer space.

==========================

Well, thanks for stopping by. An impassioned assertion of an uninformed opinion

is always in order.

The vehicle responsible for lifting the total launch weight out of the Earth's

atmosphere certainly needs to be made of stronger stuff. But once you're clear

of the atmosphere, the forces that you'll encounter from then on are much less.

From that point in the mission, you no longer need streamlined spacecraft made

of concrete, and the main objective now is to reduce the weight. Maybe there

have been spacecraft made of tin foil. I have not heard of those. But I do know

that portions of the Apollo 'LEM' ... the Lunar Excursion Module in which pairs of

Apollo astronauts descended to the lunar surface ... were sheets of gold foil,

and a misplaced pilot's boot would have gone right through them.
