There's no safe power source that we know about, but there could be unsafe power sources that we don't know about. Obviously the curiosity rover dispensed with solar panelss.
- ballard 13y agoSince when has the military been concerned about safety? They kill for a living and have demonstrated they don't give a shit about the aftermath (depleted uranium, unexploded cluster bomblets, land mines and indiscriminate, lengthy kill lists forging fresh terrorists). Also, previously discarded technologies like thorium are being reconsidered because of advances in nanofabrication. So they claim it won't be like your grandfather's navigation beacon (RTGs) because a much smaller amount of isotope is used to thermally vibrate quartz structures.
- myrandomcomment 13y agoThe job of the military is to kill people and break things in the most efficient manor possible. Everyone seems to forget that of some reason.
- codeonfire 13y agoI meant unsafe power sources that the military has/is working on that the public does not know about because the military keeps its research secret. I don't think anyone is under the impression that the military forgoes research for safety reasons.
