Earth's Rotation Speed = 1000 mph
Earth's Speed in relation to 365.25 day orbit around the sun = 67,000 mph
Earth's Speed in relation to being influenced by the Sun's path = 504,000 mph

We are hauling some serious ass!

You forget one last motion we have;

The Milky Way itself moves at a speed of 1.3 Million miles (had to look up the number) per hour, relative to the cosmic background radiation, through the intergalactic space as well!

And we still aren’t really getting anywhere at all.

Each Galaxy(Milky Way) is moving as a single unit through space.  I would think one of the most difficult things to do would be is to launch a buoy, that could sustain an absolute zero movement position, in which every point could be mapped from.
