Yes, basically. Most photographs of the ISS, the Earth and the like are now taken with very short photographic exposures. Since stars around the Earth are so dim in comparison to the ultra-bright Earth, sun and objects reflecting light, they can’t be seen. The Hubble telescope uses super-long exposures to allow us to see stars clearly, because time is needed for enough faint starlight to gather on the receptors.

same reason you can’t see stars when you’re in a brightly lit part of the city, too much background light from earth drowning them out
This whole scenario with a car in space seems like something I saw in a rock music video awhile ago. Oh, and wasn’t there a scene in Heavy Metal with a car in space? It’s all very surreal.
Yep, opening scene of Heavy Metal is a rotoscoped Corvette freefalling to Earth out of a space shuttle.

Best to go out in the countryside for best stargazing results.
