Aristotle said the objects’ natural state is at rest.
Which trip will take more fuel? A trip that requires 300km of driving, or trip that requires 3,000km of driving.
Newton’s First Law states that an object will remain at rest or in uniform motion in a straight line unless acted upon by an external force.
Which space trip would use more fuel. A trip of 1.5 seconds (Moon) or 182 seconds (Mars close) or 22 minutes (Mars far)
