Is the old TV show ‘Space:1999’ about to become reality?
To: bitt
A would bet everything this doesn’t happen via NASA by 2030.

Hey, one problem at a time. First you build it then you worry about getting the power to earth.

They’re going to destroy the ecology of the moon! Oh, wait.

NASA wants to put a nuclear reactor on the MOON by 2030 Leave it in NASAs hands and it won't be in place until 2040 or beyond. Outsource it to private industry and it'll be ready before 2030.
To: bitt
Ummm. Long extension cord. Or, is it a EV charging station for space travel, oh, wait, that’s not in the plan.
Maybe the Dems will migrate to the moon and live in peace harmony evermore.....and leave us alone?

A would bet everything this doesn’t happen via NASA by 2030.NASA will spend the next seven years trying to figure out if the first woman on the moon should be black or transgender.

Why would they need electrical power on the moon? Red lights so airplanes don’t accidentally run into it? 24/7 radio station for LGBTQEIEIO propaganda because their mission’s been redefined as outreach?

Expect the anti-nuclear know-nothings to start their pearl clutching in 3...2...1.
At least China and India will have no qualms about opening up the moon for commercial advantage.
To: Drew68
That’s far closer to reality than this proposition…

NASA has shortlisted three concepts for 40-kilowatt class fission power system Never heard of such a small reactor. How much juice would it generate?
Search results: "enough to continuously run 30 households for ten years."
Tiny. I mean tiny.
Still, I bet the whole world gets its pantaloons in a knot over this proposal.
