Why should the suit reenter much sooner than the space station itself?
Granted, it has a much higher frontal area to mass ratio than the space
station, so is more affect by (rarified) atmospheric drag, but I would not
have thought it would reenter in just a few weeks. If this were true, the
space station could get rid of metabolic waste by just dumping it overboard
and it will soon burn up in the atmosphere - or do they do this now?
