Also it doesn’t make much sense since there’s no universal frame of reference. The time machine in the comic stays in place with respect to the sun which isn’t really different from it staying in place with respect to the Earth.
The only real options are to have it essentially be a teleporter too (like the TARDIS) or to let it stay in place like usual. Making you move some random distance based on a randomly chosen inertial system is just dumb.
