So technically the uranium around it could be about 20% of U-235 up to 97%. Without further specs, I’d guess it’s on the…

Sad, but unfortunately true...

Yep, think so. Ah, well - after 4 years, the damn thing’s probably permanent, and they’d need a jackhammer and crane to get it out.

They use depleted uranium as radiation shielding - because (a) it’s dense as fuck (1.7 times that of lead) and (b) you’ve got it lying around after removing the more reactive isotope (U-235) of uranium from it.

And popping up a 4 year old post - they must be hurting for material.

Well, FINE then! Be that way! ;)

Well, he was sure vocal in his criticisms about it at the time.... um, not.

Impressive speed! Only 4 years? Where are the editors - Alpha Centauri?

Oh, I appreciate the hell of them. Seeing them evolve, they’re fantastic.

Driverless cars are already reality - it just remains to implement them on a large enough scale. Hard to make a real ‘Wow!’ display about almost-common stuff.
