From time to time I take a peek at the Europa Clipper’s clean room webcam. Usually not too much action takes place, usually it’s just some guys in hazmat suits moving around.
One thing that got me wondering is
what makes human built probes move through space? It takes years for one of them to reach its destination. Keeping an engine burning for years requires literary tons of fuel. Is a probe moving mostly by inertia (because it is easy to defeat the gravity force of the sun)?
