How difficult is it to fly out of the solar system? A simple metaphor tells you the answer, the solar system is really too big
The universe is so big that people really want to go out and take a look, but the real problem is that the first step of "flying out of the solar system" gets stuck. Earlier, scientists launched multiple unmanned probes to explore the mysteries of the solar system, among which the farthest and most famous wasVoyager SisterThey provide important data for human research on celestial bodies in the solar system, but their ultimate mission is still to explore vast areas outside the solar system...
