The direct measurement is not necessary. A combination of experimental results -- namely, a two-way light speed measurement and measurement of the isotropy of the speed of light -- constrains what the one-way speed of light can be. A little doodling on the back of a cocktail napkin should convince you of that in ten minutes or less. Furthermore, we DO have direct and independent measurements of wavelength and frequency of light from distant and moving sources, and the product of these quantities is remarkably constant at c. PD
