| Dec 30, 2020 at 5:30 | comment | added | user535733 | The classic problem with "millions of years" questions on Earth is that the surface changes a whole lot over millions of years. The dormant probe my find itself washed into the sea, melted by a surprise volcano, smashed by a tsunami, sunk deep into a swamp, eroded by sandstorms, squashed under a glacier, etc. | |

| Dec 30, 2020 at 5:09 | comment | added | SRM | Do you just want to know about the power situation? Or do you want to know about environmental effects that could affect the reactor? | |
