The radiator fins of the RTG would have probably got stuck into the surface of dust of the comet. (I.E. Heaviest portion of SAT, center of gravity, and all that sort of stuff). Net result, even worse, no contact at all, as the now insulated radiator fins reach same temperature as heat source, generating virtually no electricity. And without backup solar panels, not contact at all.

IMHO, I 'm really beginning to Hate these nuke advocates who claim that Nuclear power is god's gift to man, when in fact is it is a curse that will plague humanity for thousands of years to some.

Why would the NSA hack US Government databases?
Tthe NSA supplied to our rivals (Russia, China), the method (network analyzer capturing the hack in action), and the means (sample code via core dump) to take over some very widely used Juniper routers. Once you have full control of the router, hacking any database traffic transiting through it is trivial.

As with all secrets, they are ephemeral (short lived), and one must be prepared for rivals to turn the tables.
Which the US did not prepare for.

More than likely the Russians or Chinese figured out how to use one of the backdoors the NSA was using to hack US databases. It sure looks like the backdoor the NSA found into JUNOS(Juniper routers) using SCHOOLMONTANA, SIERRAMONTANA, STUCCOMONTANA,, would be easy pickens once they retrieved a code sample from an infected routers.

After that it's just a matter of time before they turn the tables and use that same vulnerability to hack our networks.

It's more likely that "Chinese hack of federal personnel files included security-clearance database" was responsible for the recall.

Snowden didn't post any files on the net.. He met his contacts in person in Hong Kong and hand delivered them (USB?) to Greenwald(reporter) and Poitras(film maker) in person. He claimed that he did not take any of NSA files on his laptops with him to Russia./P

Their is plenty of evidence that GMO's are very harmful, like being deficient in trace minerals. The World Health Organization has declared Roundup to be a likely carcinogen

Worse yet our insanely stupid farmers/Monsanto have found an even more dangerous way to poison us by using roundup on NON-GMO crops as a preharvest drying agent

The Tesla Powerwall battery packs is wired for a 350-400 volt range, and come bare bones except for some equalization circuitry, (no charger nor inverter). Any modifications to the battery pack itself would likely void the warranty. How ever adding a low voltage circuit does have it merits, but the Powerwall will not be a factor.

I have considered running a solar/battery backed up 32-35 volt DC supply into the house, and use a number of 5-pack LM2596S stepdown inverters. The adjustable nature of these DC buck converters can power DC fans, Security system, DVRs, Antenna amps, Sat boxes, night lights, laptops, LCD monitor, door bell, automation system, charging stations, etc. The higher distribution voltage keeps losses to a minimum while providing uninterrupted power.
