As in a Vacuum.
I think it is some sort of property, as there is such a thing as space sailing, as in space winds?

The sun emits trillions of particles per second that would fry us without our magnetic field generated by the liquid iron core on Earth.
In theory, humans could build a space ship to use as thrust to "sail" to the outer planets. The ship would continue to accelerate from the thrust. The problem is slowing down to land, and the return trip.
