    The… Earth and Sun.

    Those are the reference frames.

    You start by traveling with the Earth.
    Gravity “turns off” for you.
    The Earth then curves away as it orbits the Sun.

    You just follow the tangent line.

      Yes, that was my point. I think it aligns good enough with the comics.
