With the moon being what, about a hundred-thousand times further away than ISS when it's overhead, I have a doubt.

It's already tens of thousands of times as far out and realistically will still be hundreds of times as far away as ISS around the time the last population center passes out of view of it at night as it makes its approach.

Yeah, ISS was for reference distance at which the capsule is may be still visible.
