evidences, 10 miesięcy temu w Mars rover mission will use pioneering nuclear power source

It’s fine, both of the last two US Rovers are powered off RTGs and several of the deep space probes run off RTGs also. For low Earth orbit and stuff closer to the sun it doesn’t make sense but going further out and especially in a place like Mars where solar panels are prone to being covered in dust an RTG power source makes sense.

Beerkeg rocket is a little funny, but RFA’s engine tests have been promising. Looking forward to seeing what they can accomplish.
