Very cute Chanti...
As far as the a straight line being the path of any spacecraft....
The Juno mission flight path:

The Rosetta mission flight path, with gravity boosts marked out:

Yep, gravity!
You're actually OFF topic. Juno was never the discussion. It was actually New Horizons flight to Pluto which I spoke about. If you want post THAT "slingshot" path. Be my guest. The information NASA provided never stated any such thing that I read.
Ask and thou shall recive.

Notice the gravity boost and course change at Jupiter. Also notice that the post Juipeter path is not a srtaight line. Close though.
Thanks. That doesnt really dispute what I claimed though. The photos NASA themselves showed were minus using Jupiter to propel faster ahead. Mind you my pic was direct from NASA while your vid is from. . Idk who that is but they aint NASA.
Regardless. Now we're talking about a Gravitational Pull of the Sun that is very easily escapable right next door to the Sun yet . .is so strong at the outer reaches towards the Heliosphere that it somehow creates a vacuum. The separation necessary to allow us to travel w/in our own Solar System's atmosphere w/o being thrown out by the 514,000 mph speed differential.
I cant believes it's not -Gravity- jpg
That means Earth's atmosphere is not separated from the Sun's atmosphere (Space) by gravity neither. I know. Nobody agrees w/ me. I dont want to argue over it. In my eyes Gravity is Not the Correct answer.
Spacetime does Not bend, twist nor warp around. Spacetime is actually seperated by (top secret) forces. Like a 'fish tank' inside another 'fish tank'. Spacetime is divided into pieces not connected to one another. Earth's atmosphere is divided from the Sun's. The Sun's is divided from the Interstellar. The Intetstellar is divided from the 'Outerstellar'.
