Question

Does time stand still in space

Answer 1

No & Yes - the case depends actually.

You can't make the velocity zero and expect to stay in space. you will need to constantly fire the engine to hold youself in position (this is possible, until you run out of fuel).

Yes, it is possible to fire the engine and lift off earth into space, and then fire in the opposite direction to earths movement until you are still, relative to the sun. But if you now turn the engine off, the suns gravity will pull you down and directly into the sun.

its the earths forward motion that prevents it falling into the sun
