A big shout-out to my Dad who led the development program at General Electric to build the Radioisotope Thermal Generators (RTGs) that are still powering the Voyager spacecraft. I was in college when he was running that program. Dad passed 19 years ago -- Well Done, Dad!

Wow! Well done, Dad, indeed!
I find this all .. as Spock would say ... “Fascinating”
