I Is it feasible to measure one way speed of light this way?

Didn't someone calculate a reasonable value for c by astronomical observation?
Ole Rømer studied the moons of Jupiter. He used them as a distant clock and ascribed their apparent tick rate variation solely to changing distance, from which he could deduce a speed of light. In a relativistic analysis of his work he was assuming slow clock transport, which is equivalent to assuming an isotropic one-way speed of light. So this is not a true one-way speed measurement either.

No - this is a different topic. See post #40 and responses to that.

c = (D1-D2)/(T1-T2)
No. See post #41 and responses to that.

Well, I sees. . .
