  • Bummer that it doesn’t specify which application of nuclear power, but seeing as I’m forced to guess, I’d surmise they’re using RTG.

    Radioisotope Thermoelectric Generator

    The spicy rocks get hot and the differential between the hot bit and the cold exterior (and titan is VERY COLD INDEED) “pushes” electrons, to put it as simply as possible.

    IF SO, it’s pretty normal for the most part; we’ve been using RTGs for generations. A decent mostly solid-state power supply that, while rather thermally wasteful it’s very reliable.

    (there are ways to get more electrical power from the same amount of heat but they’re more complicated and can break more easily)







  • You stopped being a bad person when you grew sufficient empathy to feel bad about what you did.

    But your debt is not paid.

    Consider the bad person you no longer are as though they were a dependent in your charge. Everything they did is, rightly, an embarrassment of who you presently are.

    You will continue to be a good person as long as you work to make up for the things that your past self did.

    Not out of guilt, though:
    Out of gratitude that you’re no longer that person.
