How can a spacecraft go?

It depends on what kind of spacecraft we're talking about. There's this type of spacecraft called 'Flyby' Spacecraft. Flyby Spacecrafts are those who cannot observe distant objects. They would just flyby planets, asteroids, or whatever, and avoid being caught by a planet's magnetic field, or orbit. Please be more specific :)
