That would depend on where it started from. It will accelerate towards Earth at 32 feet per second per second, reaching a maximum speed (due to atmospheric resistance) of 120 miles per hour within 10 seconds.

If we assume that it is starting at the top of the atmosphere, that's a problem, as that is defined so many ways. Let us say 50 miles up, then, which is the height you must reach for NASA to say you are an astronaut.

At 120 miles per hour, or 2 miles per minute, it would take 25 minutes to reach Earth's surface. This is very, very rough though, as the air resistance past 25 miles up is negligible, and the speeds would vary.
