If a space shuttle was in trouble and could not reach the space station, what if the shuttle carried several human space capsules for each astronaut. The astronaut would descend through the atmosphere in these capsules and when the atmospheric pressure reached a certain altitude a parachute would deploy. Could an astronaut survie these g forces and the atmospheric heating?
