i'm reading some sf where there's this whole solar system economy and part of it involves shipping food between planets and moons. i just want to confirm - this is not remotely plausible right? fuel costs should be way too high?

not that fuel is ever discussed at all, this is soft space opera stuff we're talking about, but it's still jarring whenever it comes up and the food isn't a luxury item

Replying to
right, it's a gravity well issue. the implication as far as i've been able to tell is that food is being shipped to and from planet surfaces, so one gravity well on the way there and one on the way back
