We have been old that everything is moving away from each other. How can we navigate if the reference points are not stationary?

Interstellar travel makes no sense unless wormholes can be created and permit passage—way beyond current technology.

The proposed navigation system might help you figure out if you landed in our galaxy—if not you are permanently lost.

Certainly Voyager 2 for decades could send its signal to New Horizon, then NH transmit to Earth and the reverse way as well.

It took 40 years for V’ger to get to the edge of the solar system. It will take 500 years to get lost at current rates of speed.

"six dimensions - three in space and three in velocity"

I never heard of 3 dimensions of velocity. Can someone explain that to a layman? I always thought velocity meant speed, whether initial or continuous or decaying. Are those the 3 dimensions? If so, the word dimension has taken on new meaning to me. If not, then I would call it a varying (degree) of motion.
