One of the most difficult problems facing spacecraft engineers is how to power a craft once it is beyond the Earth's atmosphere. Fuel is incredibly costly to transport due to its weight, and if a long journey is scheduled it becomes incredibly impractical to take that amount of fuel into the atmosphere.
