The idea of the skin-tight metal space suit comes from an editorial by
John Campbell in a 1968-1970 Analog magazine.  This editorial also
described other neat objects such as microphones that would work from
DC to megahertz.  The idea of the skin-tight metal space suit has been
used in many other SF stories, particularly those appearing in Analog.
