We are not flying thru space like that....it would take us millions of years to go as far as we did in that video.

I have wondered how anybody knows what absolutely stationary is, since everything is moving.

Umm... Technically we are and we aren't. Depends on how you perceive it.
Think of this. What does "not moving" really mean in terms of the universe. If I say "the sun doesn't move" what would that mean? There has to be a reference point. It doesn't move in reference to what? Theoretically, we could all be "moving" close to the speed of light. But we're just all doing it together.

Just different frames of reference. Since nothing is absolute and everything is relative, you can choose the frame of reference as you wish.

Because you're above the equator. South of the equator they revolve the opposite direction. True story.

I don't think the video noted how much of a time frame it was supposed to cover. And since the planets have been around for millions of years, it would still be accurate.
