Hmm, those batteries do not provide propulsion nor power to run main systems now do they? Solar panels charge batteries and steerage comes from compressed gas thrusters, no?

Smarty pants.

Let’s try to make a manned craft cruise on miniscule amount of thrust from an on board bank of batteries and solar panels.
