Nuclear-powered Linux computers on Mars...



Only until they undock it from the rover, then it will have to survive on it's solar panel! It's also probably the 'coolest' linux ever as temps can go down to -100°C on Mars at night and they are only heating the batteries.


I love Mark Rober’s explanation of this. See the lemon battery video at 9m30s https://youtu.be/a1D-fZP8qJk
