Thanks for posting. My Dad managed the program at GE to build the RTGs that power the Voyager spacecraft. The project was originally "Mariner Jupiter Saturn." I remember all the incredible tests his team did to make sure the plutonium powered generators could survive a launch crash.

That's quite an honor.
