Default Why are the 'Fixed Stars' so FIXED?

Crap....
Absolute CRAP!


No crap, Henri. Experiments such as you have proposed in the past
to measure one-way speed of light are effectively being performed
on a continuous basis in tracking interplanetary spacecraft. They
aren't even experiments anymore, but instead are simply routine
engineering considerations. DSN determinations of spacecraft
radial velocity are accurate to 0.05 millimeters per second, and
range determinations are routinely accurate to three meters.

Any discrepancy in signal timings resulting from c+v effects
should have been noticed long ago.

c+v effects simply don't exist.
