In the context of the Newtonian N-body problem, we will show that geodesic rays of the nonnegative energy Jacobi-Mapertuis metric are expansive in the sense that all mutual distances between the bodies are divergent functions. We will also comment on the state of the art concerning the existence of these rays, recent achievements and some open problems.
