Anyone remember the Man Out Of Space Easiest (MOOSE) project?  As I
recall, this was a 60s effort to develop a reentry vehicle usable by
individuals.  It comprised a spacesuit, something to generate a foam
heatshield (inflated in the fashion of a life vest), a retro pack, and a
parachute.  Seems to me it would be useful for certain space shuttle
emergencies.
