I don’t question the in-universe ability of characters to fly/levitate with no obvious means of propulsion; it’s fantasy, and accepting that they can do this is the price of admission. 1/
NASA release:
NASA has awarded the Mars Ascent Propulsion System (MAPS) contract to Northrop Grumman to provide propulsion support and products for spaceflight missions - "one step closer to realizing Mars Sample Return (MSR)".

This is the SMX-25, DCNS's futuristic non-nuclear hybrid craft that can travel quickly on the surface like a frigate, then dive near the target to use Air-Independent Propulsion like the stealthiest submarines. <3000 tons, 10kts dive, 38kts surfaced.

The first artist impression of a new supersonic anti-ship #missile for #SouthKorea's🇰🇷KF-X fighter has been released
This missile features a ducted ramjet propulsion with range of 500km. It is expected to undergo live fire testing in 2026.

And then there's those bonus stages.
They're a nice break from the shooting. This time you controls something much like the first sub-game of Batalyx (Hallucin-O-Bomblets) where your shots are also your propulsion. So you have to reach the end of the level, negotiating obstacles.
Jellyfish summon the "virtual wall effect" to maximize their thrust. Researchers are studying how they do it, seeking ideas for bio-inspired underwater propulsion. https://t.co/NRJzoLdeXt

AtchOum, propulsion de gouttelettes, d'imagination, je vous rassure.

DID YOU KNOW? The TIE / LN had one of the most precisely manufactured propulsion systems in the galaxy (the Ps-4 twin ion engines) with no moving parts, & was low-maintenance. It sported independent generators for the engine and the weapons. #StarWars
The Hayabusa 2 asteroid sample capsule is coasting toward Earth without propulsion, following separation from its parent spacecraft hours ago.
Landing in Australia is expected around 12:47pm EST (1747 GMT), or a few minutes later, depending on winds.

Je précise qu'un vaisseau (à propulsion) mixte était un vaisseau en bois et à voile doté d'une machine à vapeur. Ce type de navire apparut au milieu du XIXe siècle et disparut rapidement après l'arrivée des premiers cuirassés dans les années 1860.
Spinosaurus had a tail designed for propulsion in water, a forward-leaning center of gravity good for swimming, and curved claws more suited to catching prey in water than to walking on land. Read more: https://t.co/6rY2gtRons #NatGeoReimaginingDinos
The last known variant of the Dom and the final model in that line, the unit features various improvements such as dust filters for the rear thermonuclear jet propulsion and a back mounted antenna for increased communication capabilities.
Interesting designs for transport craft and LLO/LEO propellant depots using nuclear propulsion and lunar ISRU-derived propellants.
They get to the Moon in about 24 hours using ~8km/s of deltaV.

Radioisotope Electric Propulsion has been dismissed because of the terribly low (3-8 W/kg) power density of the energy source.
However, newer Stirling generator ASRGs manage 90 W/kg, making them finally interesting for 100kg-scale probes in deep space.
