Yeah, fair. I would expect fusion to be substantially miniaturized from current designs by the time anyone is thinking about going to enceladus, since that’s probably like a century or two off, but I can definitely imagine a world where that isn’t the case.

Thermoelectric generators aren’t actually fission reactors, but they’re crazy cheap and ideal for space travel because they require almost 0 upkeep
