Plutonium 238 has a half-life of 87 years. The power output of the thermocouples has fallen over the years so V1 doesn’t generate enough wattage to operate all the instruments at once so they shut down all but a few. And you are correct, there will probably be a failure on a critical component before the power runs out.
10% of what the government says their worth = about $100. What they are actually worth is probably > $1,000,000. It’s the golden crap rule. It’s worth crap until they own it and then it’s golden.
They are losing the Hispanics and blacks, so all they have is killing babies under the guise of “women’s rights”. But to hell with the right of women to compete against only biological women in sports.
