Inertia!

It got off to a good start with a big-ass rocket.

Then, it stole a little momentum from a couple of planets in our solar system.

Probably picked up a tiny amount of acceleration from the solar wind from our sun.

It’s been cruising ever since.

Edit: whoops, looks like I misunderstood the question. My answer relates to its velocity, not its onboard power.
