Re: just a quick short jaunt in a Tesla

I haven't checked the satelite's configuration but considering it's proximity to the sun, electricity will probably be provided by solar panels.

In space, running out of fuel means that you're run out of mass to prove Newton's third law right. This is why EM drives and various reactionless drives are simultaneously desirable and inevitably designed to try and exploit a loophole in the laws of physics.
