Nasa Nukes the Moon #nasa #nuke #moon

What are NASA's plans with nuclear power on the Moon and Mars? Is NASA going to nuke the moon?

In this video we go over future plans for how NASA is planning on powering future missions, such as the moon base, mars landing, and moon orbital space station (Lunar gateway). What is the role of nuclear energy in NASA's future Artemis missions?

We go over a study issued by NASA highlighting the reasoning, design, risk and conclusions from it's Space Nuclear Systems division, and go over the interesting bits. Talk about the planning, the pro and cons of nuclear energy and solar depending on where you are in the solar system.

Risk mitigation when it comes to transporting nuclear material across the country, and what type of uranium fuel would be most appropriate. Using low enriched uranium being the choice, since it's not possible to use for weapons.
