Yeah, time machines would pretty much have to function as teleporters as well.But by spaceships, do you mean that whenever you use one of those time machines, you'd end up somewhere in space and then have to fly back to earth manually? Because that sounds like a bit of a hassle...

Exactly so.Old RAH was a smart bastard, he noticed that you would have to be damn careful
not to emerge from time where the planet was at the moment you were targeting.
A very messy result, so aim a large distance from calculated position of the
planet and then move in to land or orbit. Hassle, yes, but soooo much safer.

Your mom's ass.Even if you slap it.
No offense, just a chance to use an old joke.
But to the point, and your point below. Yeah,
there are some additional holes in the idea.
As well as the notion that space is empty
enough to pop in and out of without ripping
the shit out of you from inside and out.
