Lets say a ship takes off at mars and starts to travel
through space toward the earth; can we say that the
earth is traveling through space toward the ship?
No we cannot. Its motion is only relative to the
absolute motion through space-time of the ship.

Hey git - nothing is moving in spcetime at all. What appears to be
movement in space is sloshing space and time coordinates. Epicycles
gave a better fit to historic astronomic observations than initial
heliocentric calculations. When NASA wants to hit a planet they
consider about more than you can imagine. NASA management stinks but
its technical staff is adequate.
