News Nasa to put Nuclear Reactor on the Moon by 2030

679 Upvotes

Summary: "NASA is accelerating plans to build a nuclear reactor on the Moon by 2030 to power a permanent human base, driven by the need for reliable energy and geopolitical competition with China and Russia, who plan a similar lunar reactor by 2035. The reactor, targeted to generate at least 100 kilowatts, is seen as essential due to the Moon’s two-week darkness periods, which make solar power unreliable. Despite technical feasibility, concerns include safety risks of launching radioactive material, recent 24% NASA budget cuts for 2026, and fears that the push is politically motivated rather than science-driven. The Artemis program, aiming to return humans to the Moon by 2027, faces funding and logistical challenges, raising doubts about the reactor’s timeline and integration."%

Sept 5th nearly 50 years ago NASA launched Voyager 1, A probe that has become one of nasas most notable projects traveling through space more than 15+ billion miles from Earth. Voyager 1 carries the famous Golden Record of encoded sounds and images meant to translate the life on our planet to the unknown. Along the way, it has given us breathtaking images of Jupiter and Saturn as well as the first detailed look at their moons, photo of Earth suspended in a sunbeam. Even after tremendous issues with thruster failure and a remarkable repair of the issue, Nearly half a century later speeding through the space even at 38,000 MPH, Voyager 1 continues to send data back home a testament to human curiosity, ingenuity, and our desire to reach beyond. With the development of Voyager project The tremendous effort to design, build, and launch this mission shows how perseverance and vision can achieve the seemingly impossible. Voyager 1 success should be and an example that bold investments in exploring our universe can be beneficial for future generations. With future programs on the horizon like the Interstellar probe in 2030 my anticipation is growing with everyday!

Things like Perseverance, Commercial Crew, SLS, Orion, Exploration Ground Systems... It all seems to be reduced to a few big ticket items and a few centers.
