  • @gacpro001 Radiation is radiation. There is no 'natural' and 'artificial' radiation, or at least the distinction is meaningless in terms of harm. The naturalistic fallacy should not be applied in science.

  • @gacpro001 Just what are you getting at?

  • @SlightyDisturbedNBK Is it your decision?

  • @gacpro001 There is no difference, there is no harm going to come to Mars from these generators, if there was any actual life on the surface it would have been killed off long ago from the radiation and other factors.

  • @SlightyDisturbedNBK But that's natural radiation.

  • Need to get 1 of thoes generators in my car lol

  • how long can it last?

  • @EagleSmeagol It was August 24th. It was an unmanned missed, crashed in siberia.

    The incident you link to is the last time people were killed due to soyuz failure.

  • @Owwmykneecap heh, according to wiki that was in 1975 :) ( /wiki/Soyuz_rocket )

  • @EagleSmeagol The last Soyuz rocket blew up.
