if you stop by and answer some trivia questions, you can learn about USNC-Tech and get a shirt!
Say hi to Drew and Sara at the @ANS_org student conference today, where they are hanging out with the rest of the @UltraSafeNuke team to represent the work our division is doing in space nuclear!

Might seem sunlight solves off-world energy needs… But Mars solar irradiance is under 1/2 of Earth orbit (plus dust problems!). And though never a cloudy day on the Moon, sunless 14-days is a long time to run on chemical batteries. Alternatives are needed. Go @USNCTech!
