Why is the Benetar floating in space without engine power?

Why is the Benetar floating in space without engine power? - Space rocket installed on metal construction in spaceport and ready for launching against cloudless sky

In one of the opening scenes to Avengers: Endgame the Benetar is floating in space without engines working.

How is this? Peter Quill Star-lord flew the Benetar to Thanos' planet to confront him. It appears to still be space worthy, since Stark and Nebula leave (Thanos' home planet) after the Snapocalypse.

Why not just activate the engines to a jump-port and get somewhere instead of just deep space with no food, no water, etc?
