Now it was many years since I saw it, so my memory might be a bit off. It is true that ISS does an orbit in ~90 min, but in order for them to get hit by the debris in that time… They have to remain totally stationary?
And during the EVA there was an invisible force tugging on them and pulling them away?
I believe they’re all in different “altitude” orbits, so you’d need a pretty large amount of delta-V (read: fuel) to get from one to another, far more than the characters would have had available.
It was okay. The ISS, Hubble, and Tiangong don’t orbit in the same plane, so the premise is somewhat implausible.

Oh didn’t know that
