    ... The Kapton on the exterior of the CM was designed to prevent it from not picking up too much heat from the sun, not hold heat in; the SM had quite large radiator assemblies to let the heat of the crew and electronics be radiated into space, much in the way the Shuttle uses its huge radiators inside the cargo bay doors to get rid of excess heat - and if the doors don't open, has to get back down within around three orbits IIRC, to prevent overheating. ... With the early electronics used on it, thermal output could be quite high from its internal electronics, and given its robust and well insulated exterior to allow it do a reentry at around 22,000 mph without the crew being overheated by the heating of its exterior to its interior via either the heat of the reentry IR flux around it hitting it exterior and being absorbed, or direct heating of its interior via conduction through its hull via its metallic structure. ...
