Would it be possible to (theoretically) survive re-entry in a space suit?
Say, hypothetically, an astronaut is spacewalking to fix something on the ISS when he has a minor epileptic episode or something that causes him to lose control of the jetpack and sends him careening towards earth. Is there any way he survives? Assuming he lands somewhere that would cushion the fall, of course, like turbulent water or fluffy snow.
