If our solar system and galaxy are moving why do we not see differences in speed of light depending on direction?
I've been looking at those before but they don't seem to give me understanding to answer my question, sorry!

Would it then be acceptable to treat moving objects as space-contracting entities?

Wait, do You mean that if we're moving we still see speed of light as exactly the same relative to us? Meaning regardless of how fast you're moving your perception of the speed of light is always the same? Would this then mean a third persons perspective would measure a higher-than-speed-of-light? This seems contradictory to me so I must be mistaken here somewhere.

That is precisely my point - that would cause a blue or red doppler shift but that doesn't answer the question of why do we perceive the same speed of light in all directions if the galaxy or our solar system is moving. If the speed is constant, we would measure a difference in firing a beam of light "with" and "against" movement

Can we deorbit space trash into the sun by splitting it in two?
Yeah, I guess that makes sense. Which means: technically doable, but practically not feasible.

I'm not talking about explosions in earths orbit, but in solar orbit. Gathering up all the space debris over many years using small drones to catch, gather and weld the debris into one mostly-coherent chunk, whle continuously adding to its speed to achieve earth-orbit-escape velocity. Then, it would simply just go around the sun, and get perturbed by earths gravity, to avoid it falling back we'd just nuke it and make sure it doesnt come back.

Removed confusing paragraph and brought the main idea to the top.
