It is extremely hard to park something in space. There are so many gravitational influences from the Sun, the planets, and the Galaxy that if I parked my Millenium Falcon in one spot then went and did some shopping, something would start to pull on it and it would begin floating in that direction, leaving me wandering the space parking lot for hours.
