This is horrific stuff, if true. Now you mention this, maybe nano-aluminum is not such a great idea. It all comes back down to earth sooner or later, and aluminum has been linked to dementia. Aluminum or aluminum oxide in the lungs is not good either. Something the body can use and absorb might be better, like iron or calcium. It would take some research to create a benign but light and effective nanopowder for photon absorbtion in space. Still, dumping kilotons of aluminum into space as a last resort is a lot better than stewing every living thing. Regards, Horace Heffner
