A billion miles away.

That’s at least 300 bucks worth of gas.

1.85 billion miles round trip in 2 years.

That works out to 105,000 mph.

What happens when a space craft hits a tiny space pebble at 105,000 mph?

Depending on the speed and direction of the pebble, I am thinking the kinetic energy would blast a hole right through the space craft.

“Orbiting around the second-biggest planet in the solar system is relatively easy. Transferring orbits to its largest moon is much more difficult. Solving that problem requires tackling the three-body problem, a notoriously difficult orbital mechanics problem that involves solving the orbits of three different orbital bodies (i.e., the spacecraft, Saturn and Titan).”

Spacecraft, Earth, Moon?
