And if whatever sheared off the part of the spaceship/satellite changed it's momentum. If I'm on a space station, and fling something directly towards the earth, from my perspective it will fall directly towards earth for quite some time (probably out of eyesight) before the orbital movements make it behave in odd (compared to on-the-surface) ways.

Well, flung not falling then? Until it enters the atmosphere and it's forward speed gets breaked down I guess.
