- walrus01 10y agoThis is ridiculous tinfoil hat bullshit - a radioisotope thermoelectric generator with encapsulated pellets is NOTHING like a "fat man" design atomic bomb.
- quakeguy 10y agoAbsolutely right, Rich Hoagland as author alone is a big warning, i just posted it to have confirmation from some guys who know better that this is BS. Is this allowed here?
- tristanj 10y agoNope. The Galileo spacecraft only carried 7.8 kilograms of Plutonium. That blue smudge is about the size of planet earth. There's no way that amount of plutonium made a cloud that big.
