This post represents a fundamental misunderstanding of how rocket propulsion works. Any rocket’s ability to change the speed of the spacecraft is dictated by the amount of fuel available, not the engine. [Link] NEEDS_MORE_RATINGS(1-0-1) Author

The ion engine will add a gradual push which over a long period of time will cause the cited speed. This is unlike the current rocket engines that burn fuel to give thrust for escaping earth gravity NEEDS_MORE_RATINGS(0-0-0) Author

No note needed. The post is correct. Note are here to add context for missleading information, this post is actually correct even if it dont explain fondamental science behind. Ion thrusters can have infinite ammount of thrust if you have enought stock of energy and propellent. NEEDS_MORE_RATINGS(0-0-0) Author

The community note is not needed and misleading since the writer ignores physics in regard to how the motor may actually function. [Link] NEEDS_MORE_RATINGS(0-0-0) Author
