You solved the problem with your definition of time travel.

“time travel is possible like in the movies”

In the movies people don’t appear inside of solid objects, in the middle of outer space, etc. They magically appear on the same place on Earth where that point in history occurred, in a suitable location and even air molecules are moved aside such that you can appear safely.

As long as you are using the movie definition of time travel you are safe.

If you want some type of real world definition of time travel, then of course you quickly have to conclude that time travel like the movies is impossible. And of course not just arriving on the same point on Earth, but also actually sending anything larger than a sub-atomic particle back in time.

Are Aliens Real?

In short, the perfect Christmas gift for someone who is an enthusiast for life and travel in outer space. In the 1980s, on assignment, I had the opportunity to visit the John F. Kennedy Space Center and tour the site where rockets and space shuttles were launched. I saw a shuttle up close and that is to say I saw a vehicle that was the size of a small building and marveled that it could be lifted beyond Earth?s gravity to circle the planet. One can only marvel at the courage of the crews that went aloft and the scientific and technological mastery that made it possible. This book is a keeper!” This superbly designed and lavishly illustrated book marks a special moment in history: the final mission of the space shuttle. Noted space and science author Piers Bizony has put together a retrospective that covers the entire space shuttle program. In addition to covering every space shuttle mission, the book also covers the development and design of the space shuttle, as well as the technical specifications of the vehicle and details of its major assemblies and subassemblies. A full double-gatefold provides a large-scale technical drawing of the space shuttle.
