The Hard Shoulder

Will NASA build a nuclear reactor on the Moon?

NASA is aiming to build the first nuclear reactor on the Moon. This comes as the U.S. Secretary of Transportation, Sean Duffy, ordered the space agency to get a lunar power plant up and running by 2030 to power long-term human missions. Duffy, who is the acting administrator of NASA, made it clear to its competitors that whichever country arrives first could establish a “keep-out zone”. To make sense of all this, Kieran is joined by Space Commentator, Leo Enright.
