    We have uranium in our tap water here. As long as it remains less that 43 parts per million, they consider it ‘safe’. With hundreds of millions of dollars to throw around, it can’t be all that difficult to filter enough uranium out for the energy for a two week mission.

    And it was a private spacecraft, not made by NASA (although it carried some of their sensors and equipment).
