When a rocket is opperating near earth, it is using some of its energy to overcome the gravitiational pull, and as it goes further out less energy/fuel is needed so it can opperate more efficiently 2 years ago 100% 1 VoteError processing request

You're limiting your thinking to earth thinking where we have horizons and buildings and trees and mountains that block our view and distort our sense of direction. Basically in space, you have the astronaut telling Mission Control where he is at given intervals. His job is to confirm the path that the planners at Mission Control have layed out for him months in advance. The real guidance is done by hundreds of earthlings at Mission Control. They're constantly checking the location and speed of the spacecraft at all times. An astronaut cannot get lost in space. The reason the guidance is done on earth is to save space and weight on the spacecraft, and to keep the astronaut from getting overworked. 3 years ago 40% 2 Votes

Even if you could wait for another billion year. The current theories say Dark Energy (the energy which drives the expansion) is 3 times stronger than the amount of mass in the universe (which Dark Matter should contain most of it). It is now thought the universe will expand for ever. It will expand so far that even atoms cannot be sustained. Everything will be shredded and annihilated. 2 years ago 100% 1 Vote
