Reply to comment by Tom_Bombadilio in The 1984 Dune film makes a lot more sense if The Spice is referred to as Space Cocaine instead. by neoengel

The spaceships aren’t actually powered by spice. Spice just give the navigators enough prescience to not slam into celestial objects during interstellar travel with the Holtzman drives.

FYI I don’t think it really talks about how navigation works until the second or third book.

Yeah I meant the details about how the guild finds, recruits, and trains the navigators. And how the ships are designed and the details around how the navigators “live”.
