Isn't it amazing that the Voyager probe made it all the way across the solar system and the vast majority of the trip without any engines burning. I have noticed that on most sci-fi movies that the spacecraft constantly has its engines burning as if it has infinite fuel supply. of course in the historical movies about the Apollo and Mercury missions, they only used engines for launch and course changes.

Astonishing feat and even more so based on the fact that technology is so much more advanced today.

Qatwalk, Voyager has no engines. It’s coasting after being propelled into orbit by a rocket booster.

Only downside is that we’re polluting space with rockets spaceships etc … is very interesting though
