NASA is planning to install a nuclear reactor on the Moon by 2030 to power future human missions, according to US media reports. While the idea could provide a reliable energy source for lunar bases, experts are raising concerns about the technical and logistical challenges of pulling it off.
Editor’s Note: If successful, this could be a game-changer for long-term Moon missions, giving astronauts a steady power supply. But there are still big hurdles—like safely transporting nuclear material and making sure the reactor works in the Moon's harsh environment. It’s a bold step that shows NASA’s ambitions, but it’s far from a done deal.
