Neil deGrasse Tyson... gave a reality check for the power behind the reactor and quell fears:
"It’s a small reactor. I mean, the word “nuke” spooks everybody, but this reactor could sustain 50 hairdryers. That’s about it, 100 kilowatts...If we have plans to set up a colony anywhere, you’d want an energy source."

But Tyson's valid comment was somewhat amusing, since one might wonder under what circumstances a U.S. moon colony would have 50 hair dryers being used at once and powered by a nuclear reactor. Does NASA plan to have that many women (or members of the transgender delusion) at the moon colony?
There’s no one to be enslaved.
What does CBS have against civilization?
“Whitey’s back on the Moon.”
Couldn’t the women on the moon wear wigs WNBA style?
No dryers needed.
Lol.
I am very curious what a nuclear reactor that small would look like. If they can do that, then surely the AI people could have their own power sources.
As I said on another thread/post of a different report on the same news item.
The CBS “journalist” came out of academia when the Marxist cultural deconstructionists in the “humanities” were pushing their narratives of being on the lookout for “trigger” words. As a student you were entitled to feel insulted, fearful, oppressed when someone used a “trigger word”.
Accepting that narrative psychologically the indoctrinated person is not inclined to use critical thinking and put the “trigger word” into the context it is being voice, no, just, as they are “entitled” REACT, REACT, REACT and be upset about the word.
The stupid well indoctrinated idiot at CBS heard “colonization” and all it did for his mental faculty was trigger images of white European colonists in the “third world” and made him wonder “do we really want to do that”.
Stop asking lots of questions, citizen.
Your job is to obey and believe whatever garbage .gov feeds you.

American and Russian submarines have nuclear reactors they use for power.
This is funny, but probably absolutely the case :-)
When NASA was preparing for the Apollo project, they did some astronaut training on a Navajo Indian reservation. One day, a Navajo elder and his son were herding sheep and came across the space crew. The old man, who only spoke Navajo, asked a question, which the son translated: “What are the guys in the big suits doing?” A member of the crew said they were practicing for their trip to the moon.
The old man got really excited and asked if he could send a message to the moon with the astronauts. Recognizing a promotional opportunity for the spin-doctors, the NASA folks found a tape recorder. After the old man recorded his message, they asked the son to translate. He refused. So the NASA reps brought the tape to the reservation, where the rest of the tribe listened and laughed, but refused to translate the elder’s message to the moon.
Finally, NASA called in an official government translator. He reported that the moon message said: “Watch out for these guys; they’ve come to steal your land.”

Moonbattery would work better.
Babylon Bee cannot compete with reality..................
LOL
“CBS Fears European-Style Colonization and Oppression of Moon People”
The ONLY people Europeans will see there will be Chinese (on their base), and China is not about to let their Moon People be put through the crap they endured for basically 100 years and only ending in the recent past.
Maybe they’ll be setting up a defense post against UFOs like the Brit TV show. And the hair dryers will be needed by the girls with the purple hair.
Tyson picked a known high wattage item. His analogy was easy to imagine.
The reactor won’t be enough for a moon base.
Going to need a whole lot more power than that.
“I mean, the word “nuke” spooks everybody”
Only the handwringers.
Initially NASA's goal was a 40 KW nuclear reactor. Now it's 100 KW. That's still underpowered if the moon colony will depend on it for water recycling, oxygen generation, HVAC and lighting, production and cryogenic storage of fuel, food production and processing, computing and telecommunications, manufacturing and repair, and vehicle and equipment battery recharging.
