Ping!...................
America has spent the last 50 years training MBAs, cupcakes, and trannys.
No big deal, we have DEI lol
Innovation is not driven by government policy...except in states governed by the likes of CCP.
Thanks to progressivism, die and oppressive/destructive lockdowns the US is now - imho - on the order of a generation behind.
Family units, education, manufacturing and limited government is the formula for success.
We’ve been driven to the point of implosion by the minority in control of a party of stupid.
This battle has barely begun...
I wrote a class paper back in 1976 about the use of certain nuclear waste isotops for power supplies.

Betavoltaics were invented in the 1970s.[3] Some pacemakers in the 1970s used betavoltaics based on promethium,[4] but were phased out as cheaper lithium batteries were developed.[1]

We have been using them in space for decades.
If memory serves, the batteries powering the Voyager probes have beta-decay ‘batteries’.
This was announced about a year ago, Jan. 2024. Now Betavolt is hoping to start producing a 1 watt version this year than could power something pretty useful.
Then there’s all the radiosiotope thermal generators (RTGs) produced by the Soviet Union to power lighthouses and deserted for people to find and chopped open with axes by metal scavengers.
And, you can eat all the junk food you want and never gain weight!
Outstanding!
Color me skeptical.
China Tofu Dreg BS.
Do not ever trust the CCP to tell the truth. They are deceitful and wicked.
Space is a already full of radiation and people up there are necessarily in self contained environments. Contamination is easier to manage.
A nickle sized battery powered by nickel? What could possibly go wrong?
Radioactive batteries everywhere. What could possibly go wrong?
Contact exposure doesn’t need much to do a lot of damage.
That's as far as I cared to read.
Buut, butt? It is nuklar!!!That is evil.
Liberals will never allow.
Yeah, yeah, I know that many smoke detectors use nuclear material. So what? That is being reasonable. And, name me five instances in last five years wherein liberals have been reasonable.
I never believe anything about China
