"...The movie "Gravity" ..." I just started watching it. I've never seen it.

That’s why one would fold space when traveling such distances.

If that human is on earth, the thing would have been vaporized before getting to the human.
In space, I’d imagine it would ruin your spacewalk for that day!

So it is not serviceable.Why not?
If it made it to that location, what keeps something else from doing the same?

“the two Voyager missions still operate.”
The crusty old white engineers that designed those things have retired.
