Imagine if they could develop a suit that would allow an astronaut to vacate a disabled ship in orbit, and allow that person to safely decend back to earth? I know it's a long way off from being done, but just imagine the possibilities????
Most of the on suit footage is for a BBC documentary of his jump.
