That’s awesome! Congrats to your son.

My dad led the team at GE that built the power plant on both Voyager spacecraft. I remember him working on the project when I was in college and him showing me videos of the collision tests to verify the fuel casks would not split open if the launch failed and spew toxic plutonium all over the ocean.

Dad would have turned 100 this year.
