Too many early successful time travelers froze and blew up in space and left high electric bills and cabinets of unfathomable equipment in basements. Be careful around computers apparently hooked up to ham radio gear with unidentifiable functions.
THAT is the main reason why time travel is not feasible, even if it was technologically possible. Earth orbits the sun, the sun orbits the center of the galaxy. You would need a spacial compensator of some kind.
This has always been my problem with the time travel story. You want to visit the Jurassic? Too bad. Earth was on the other side of the Milky Way Galaxy at the time. If you have a machine that can zip you across the galaxy, what do you need with time travel?

In space, no one can hear you ponder.

So maybe time travel exists but we don’t know it because all the time travelers end up frozen in space?

How odd that we’ve seen so many of his adventures where this didn’t happen to him.
