I'm so happy the US is producing plutonium-238 again! We need it for space exploration!

Cool stuff but honestly, we should be ashamed that we're at this level, using such rudimentary techniques with power sources that are so minuscule compared to potential. There has been purposeful hindrance of work in this field for decades and I think we're finally going to get over the hump.

Putin's gonna be pissed....238 was his gravy train and the US Taxpayer was his sugar daddy. Now he'll have to take a pay cut.
