They'd only be up there for the 12 hours; and completely incinerate on the way down, so wouldn't become junk, themselves.
Space junk they might collide with is up just a bit higher, in stable orbit. If it was low enough to hit them, it'd be low enough to have already fallen.
I realise there are some speed complexities. Things going fast enough can be lower and still in stable orbit; but if the lastronauts are the fastest things that low, there shouldn't be any collisions.

Ah so this is really a more extreme version of skydiving?
Yeah. I kinda want to tag James Hetfield; since it's the most Metal thought I've ever had.
