- TheLoneWolfling 11y agoIt's probably substantially less damage than the rocket required to launch the extra mass that would be required if we used an alternative, heavier, method.
- jboggan 11y agoJust make sure that we drop it near a black smoker and accelerate evolution for the Europans. I doubt there is much background radiation on the bottom to stimulate random mutations.
- gambiting 11y agoWater is so good at blocking radiation, that an RTG dropped into that ocean would be absolutely nothing. It would be dangerous to anything within 5 meters of it, which again - is absolutely nothing.
