I just saw this on space reddit today. An all-composite prototype spacecraft.

Less weight less weight!

Interesting article. I feel like carbon fiber will be a major advantage that we have over Apollo era spacecraft. In the scheme of things it is probably easier to work with than machined metal panels and structures.

It is also interesting to note the testing equipment that they used.
