Nuclear Power on the Moon: A Bold Future or an Ill-Advised Quixotic Move?
In recent discussions about space exploration and technological advancement, a particularly provocative idea has surfaced: erecting a nuclear power station on the Moon. This concept, championed by U.S. officials under the Trump administration, aims to support future human activity beyond Earth, including lunar bases and missions to Mars. Secretary Duffy has emphasized the urgency of developing this technology, with an ambitious goal of launching the station within five years—coinciding with the anticipated arrival of Chinese astronauts on the lunar surface.
