Here's some proof that you should see stars from space. Of NASA it's from NASA so I guess you can't trust it. For the rest of you, here are two images from the JSC Digital Image Collection taken by Mike Collins on his Gemini X EVA

These are photos of astronomical experiments, made with extra long exposure time. Caption at http://images.jsc.nasa.gov/images/pao/GT10/10074468.htm

No one said you can't photograph stars when you are in space. All what is said is, that with camera settings to get a normal exposure of a brightly lit scene, you can't get stars on the film. On Apollo 16, they had a special astronomical UV camera with them, see http://www.hq.nasa.gov/alsj/a16/as16-114-18439.jpg
Images taken with this camera (exposure times around 15 seconds) show stars. See http://images.jsc.nasa.gov/images/pao/AS16/10075874.htm
