There’s a huge antiscience group of people out there. Let’s just not give them yet another excuse to attack science. They could inflate numbers and make it sound like NASA is endangering the health of millions of people for generations to come. We’ve heard crap like that before.

Sadly, the particular antiscience group that tried to stop the Cassini launch was more or less led by a popular, (then) well-respected physicist, Michio Kaku. [1]

For that reason, his name should not be forgotten by posterity, the way it was almost forgotten by me until this thread popped up.
