NASA Proposes Nuclear Reactor for Lunar Missions

NASA is seriously considering installing a nuclear reactor on the Moon to support future lunar missions. Experts say this isn't just a sci-fi dream, though there are still technical hurdles to overcome.

NASA's acting administrator has proposed installing a nuclear reactor on the Moon to support future lunar missions and sustained human presence. The idea aims to provide reliable energy for habitats, research, and exploration, reducing dependence on solar power, which is limited during the Moon's long nights.
