Send a message to the aliens
Last week I got a message via Facebook from one Jacqui Hayes, who's on the staff of an excellent Australian science magazine called COSMOS. More importantly to me, Jacqui was once one of the Student Navigators, an international group of students who The Planetary Society brought to JPL in the runup to the Mars Exploration Rover mission -- organizing that program and training the students was the original reason I was hired here. So I'm delighted that Jacqui has found her way into a job communicating science to the public!

How Much Uranium is in the Solar System ?
We don't know the composition of the asteroids or the objects in the Oort comet cloud or the Kuiper belt in great detail. One theory of solar system formation is that there are more metals in the inner solar system. That would mean most of the uranium is Mars, Mercury, Earth Venus and asteroid belt. There is an estimated 40 trillion tons of Uranium and 120 trillion tons of thorium in the Earth's crust. Most of that Uranium is concentrated in the continental crust. The mantel has lower concentration of uranium, but there is a lot more mantel and mantel recycles out to crust.
