Quote:If the limited fuel supply is exhausted, the space ship automatically free-falls to impact on the surface of Mars.

The quote seems correct to me.

If the only force act on the space ship were gravity, it is by definition, free falling.

Free falling does not imply falling straight down (like the cartoons)
Orbiting is also free falling.
