Reminds me of the movie Sunshine, with their striking gold space suits. I thought it was just for theatrical effect until I read it was actually based on this theory.
The gold-leaf shielding in Sunshine was influenced by NASA satellite designs for deflecting heat and other forms of radiant energy. Boyle designed the gold-coloured space suits along these lines despite persistent encouragement to model them after the NASA template.
