Why is the gravitational slingshot important to space exploration?

Gives us greater distance with little to no extra fuel

Explanation:

"Gravitational Slingshot" is a space term that can help scientists a lot in the future. This term is a representation of using a planets gravitational pull to attract a certain object a "slingshot" the object around and to the other side of the planet. This process is incredibly important to space exploration because it allows satellites and spaceships/rockets to travel a greater distance with little to no extra fuel by using the planets gravitational energy as "fuel"
