[00:10:58] <exec> 08└─I think its more of a problem of NASA not having the budget to do anything. Every problem you cite can be traced back to not having enough money to solve the problem.

[00:10:59] <exec> 08└─Chalk and cheese. There's all the difference in the world between Pu-238 and PU-239. Pu-238 can't sustain a chain reaction and spends its activity making alpha particles which even very light shielding will stop. So it just sits there generating heat.
