You don't have to be faster than the raptor, just faster than the guy you're running with... re: how fast you can run… you ever hear the one about outrunning a raptor?

The sun is also orbiting around galactic center, so you have to compensate for that, then, the galaxy is expanding, so that's another bit of movement that's going to cause some serious vacuum sucking if you're off by a gazillanth of a percentage point. Oh, and which gun stores in the People's Republic of Massachusetts are you aware of that have RPG's for sale? I'm willing to go through the background check for two or three of those.

It would seem that no matter what we need to travel through space and time anyway. and, of course, we all know that they are really the same thing and it is called spacetime, right? good question. it only mentions time travel, not time AND space travel. speaking of which, how does he know enough to go back to a point in time where the Earth is in the same exact position around the Sun?

Did you ever read the Ray Bradbury short story "The Sound of Thunder"? Great read if you want to think about the impact of actual time travel (with weapons, no less)...
