You'd think we have ion thrusters or anti gravity devices with the money we've tossed at this thing. Hell we'd probably have a full blown moon base. But nope just another tribute to enshittification crap-it-all-ism. :inshallah-script:
Probably a windows update rendering the plane a brick midflight lol.
Aren't there actual ion thrusters on interplanetary probes?
Not in interplanetary probes afaik, NASA tested them successfully in 1964, and Soviets used few hundreds of them for satellite stabilisation since 70's. Tiangong station also use them for stabilisation.
Yes, a few. Dawn, Deep Space 1, BepiColumbo, and a few others.
