The time machine that I built some years ago indeed used the 
current inertial frame reference, so there was no problem with finding
oneself out in space.  However, I also found that it was real
easy to accidently muck around with history, and after discovering
that it was impossible to put things back properly I gave up on
time travel, came back to the present, and have tried my damndest
to get used to the way things are "now."

Maybe I'll have better luck with the Mach 2 matter transmitter.
The Mach 1 was, uh, sort of "buggie."  I should have kept
a No-Pest-Strip in the lab.  Oh well, live and learn.
