Comment on A Nuclear Probe to Explore Earth’s Interiorparent

Comments

If you're going to carry a probe powerful enough to melt rocks on a spaceship, the probe better damn well be nuclear powered. There's no other way to get the energy density to make the launch costs feasible.

I agree that the prob will have to be nuclear powered. What I find risky is to put it on a spaceship.
