RE: Extra Vehicle Activity (EVA) or Spacewalks
This is certainly correct!
An easier way to think of it is relative speed, sure the space station is going very fast - but if you are going with it, you are also going that fast speed.
The jet pack can only speed you up so fast, you are only going a few miles per hour faster or slower than the station.
It is indeed. It is like a fly flying forward in a car going at 120km
