What other power source? There is only solar and nuclear in space. And not even NASA does nuclear unless absolutely required for the mission.

We have uranium in our tap water here. As long as it remains less that 43 parts per million, they consider it ‘safe’…
And it was a private spacecraft, not made by NASA (although it carried some of their sensors and equipment).

You don’t know how nuclear power works.

Not directly, no. But my late father was a nuclear reactor cooling technician, I did learn quite a bit more than the average person.
