all our robotic explorers have been ambitious, maybe even wildly so, but our engineering & science teams behind them have a great track record of success. The radioisotope thermoelectric generator Dragonfly will use is not new, it’s the same thing used to power Mars rovers like Perseverance and Curiosity. Once you get to Mars & beyond distances from the sun it’s currently the only feasible compact power source, solar radiation is too weak out there.
