NASA will put a moon reactor by 2030

NASA plans to deploy a nuclear reactor on the moon by 2030 to power a human base. This ambitious goal aims to provide a consistent energy source, essential for lunar habitation when solar power is unavailable. The initiative is driven by the U.S. objective to lead in space exploration against competition from China and Russia. Concerns exist regarding the project's high costs and tight schedule, with some experts advocating for a greater focus on scientific objectives and international collaboration.
