To travel in space you need to:

1. accelerate to the desired speed to get where you want when you want

2. let off the throttle and open a good (and long) book while you coast

Because [Sir Isaac Newton is the deadliest son of a bitch in space](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hLpgxry542M), travelling in space doesn’t take extra fuel during the trip, only when you need to change direction or speed.
