So we are on a rotating planet, which also hurdles through space orbiting the sun, which also is hurdling through space orbiting the center of the galaxy. Is it possible to be motionless in space?

If you are searching for an absolute frame of reference, there isn't one.

Yes, it is possible for a person to be completely still in space. In a zero-gravity environment, there is no force acting upon the body to cause movement. However, it may be difficult to maintain this stillness due to natural movements such as breathing and heart rate.
Yes, objects can be completely still in space. In a vacuum, there is no air resistance or friction to cause movement. Objects will continue to move at a constant velocity unless acted upon by an external force.
Yes, it is possible to stop moving in space. If an object's velocity is reduced to zero or if it is placed in a stable orbit, it will appear to be completely still relative to the observer.
Yes, astronauts experience movement while in space. They may experience the sensation of weightlessness and floating, but they are still in motion due to the Earth's rotation and revolution around the sun. They may also experience motion sickness due to the constant movement of their spacecraft.
If an astronaut loses their grip on a spacecraft or object and becomes completely still in space, they will continue to drift in a straight line with their current velocity. However, they can use thrusters or other devices to regain control and maneuver back to their desired position.
