Actually they could, which is why they make sure to tether everything and everyone to the ship at all times. However, the shuttle and the astronauts are all going at the identical speed and in the same direction. So, unless something imparts a different vector (direction or speed) to one of the two, they will stay in the same place. There is no atmosphere in space, so there is no drag or resistance to any movement which is why things stay exactly where they are unless "bumped" or acted on in another way.
