    That wouldn’t work even a little bit. Not just because spacesuits aren’t heat resistant so you’d burn up on reentry, but because they don’t have enough ∆V to slow down from orbital velocity in the first place.

    You’d be like Jebediah in my Kerbal Space Program campaign, floating around the planet without a spacecraft indefinitely.
