Nope. Aside from the fact that skinsuits are not yet a
proven approach -- the basic concept works, but whether
some detailed engineering problems can be adequately solved
is unknown, due to lack of funding -- they don't work for
this at all.

As Fate, Serendipity, Jungian Synchronicity and Morphic Resonance
would have it, I was just doing some deep diving in Google Groups

I'm not sure whether I prefer "skinsuit" to "space leotard" or not.
