Hi,

I'm sad enough to be a subscriber!  The blanket was white (at least on one
side) and somewhat crumpled. It was about 1 to  1.5 metres along one side
(compared to the cosmonauts arm) but could have been bigger.

It was a  docking hatch cover on Piers so you could  get some idea of size
from the spec. of the docking ports.

BTW how quickly would something like that decay??
