The 'Dawn' asteroid mission (June launch) has a 10 kilowatt electrical power
system --
is that the highest power level ever for an interplanetary probe?

Cassini: 750 watts
Galileo: 500 watts
Deep Space 1: 2.4 kilowatts

And exactly how much birth to grave (including yourself) is that mission
costing us?

I'd chip in a tener to send you to Venus.
