Why does the astronaut's visor have a reflective coating on it? I thought it was "dark" in space...

You still have the sun as close as on Earth, but no atmosphere to filter the light, so you get a MUCH stronger light, with a much higer percentage of harmful UV in particular. If they didn't have that coating they'd go blind.
