A nuclear reactor on the moon? Sounds like the premise for a science fiction horror story, not to mention a colossal waste of money. God, this “administration”sucks.

  1. I actually saw a reel by Sen Mark Kelly D- AZ supporting it today. He was an astronaut and is the husband of Gabby Giffords. He said it would be important for the future of further space exploration. IDK there’s a lot things to fix here on earth.

  3. While world events have made life particularly interesting and should provide me with events to pique my curiosity throughout my "golden years", I now give thought to the possibility that I may have more years left in me than does the moon. This presents a problem.

  4. What could go wrong? It's only the moon, right? No worries about the tides, gravitational pull, weather or the earth's climate.

  5. It’s hard to imagine that any administration could be worse than the taco admin. Luckily most of these stupid ideas they throw out are so expensive they will probably go away at some point. I still don’t get why anybody wants to do manned space travel? 2 dangerous & the distances r 2 great.

  6. I refer you to a 70s series 'Space: 1999' in which an explosion blows the moon out of Earth's orbit. And when that happens, I look forward to becalmed American surfers storming the White House and arguing about whether to lynch him or stomp him.

  7. It's what happens when the PedoFuhrer installs blithering idiots, criminals, rapists, embezzlers and drug addicts.

  8. I'm not too worried. I seriously doubt that the "experts" hired by Trumposhenko and the Jeenyus 5 y.o. will result in anything else besides another exploding rocket. Space X hasn't fully demonstrated they can go back and forth to the Space Station reliably. Lots of talk for the media, tho.

  11. It’s already part of one of the best “fiction” books about nuclear weapons and humanity’s inability to make better choices, A canticle for Leibowitz, by Walter Miller Jr. published in 1959. Hasn’t aged a day.

  12. That's all they do, is waste money. 1.3 billion for little donald trump's saudi Arabian plain, it cost 400 million to purchase the plane. Then he's taking 900 million from the pentagon to refurbish it. That's all american taxpayers dollars, and then he wants to keep it

  13. It's such a goofy attempt at trying to distract from epstein. It's like a Dr. Evil plot. Right up there with sharks with lasers attached to their heads. And announced by the guy who can't keep our skies safe and is scared of the NYC subway. I'm not a religious man but jesus help us.

  14. Ultimately appropriate, but not in the foreseeable future. If it's powerful enough to power a small colony, then it likely will require routine monitoring and maintenance. None of which will exist for decades.

  15. Meanwhile the EPA will cut the Solar for All program for low and middle income households.

  16. Space 1999. Overview The crew of Moonbase Alpha fights for survival in the aftermath of a massive explosion that shifts the Moon from its orbit into space and sends them hurtling into outer space.

  17. So we have a special shuttle or a vehicle, capable of transporting all the materials up there??? Where exactly will they be getting the water from to keep the reactor from overheating? Or just expose it to the vacuum of space to control temps? Sounds like an epic disaster in the making

  18. Not the best use of science and tech (or in the top 100K), but at this point I'll take any exception to "America must RETVRN to banging rocks together" where I can get it.

  19. You and others posting on here show your lack of knowledge on NASA's moon and Mars missions.

    The Nevada Nuclear Security Site (NNSS) conducted a test program nicknamed KRUSTY (Kilopower Reactor Using Stirling TechnologY) back in 2015.

    This test was a full-scale nuclear demonstration to 1/5

  20. Liz Truss, Trump fan and British prime minister for 50 days, will deliver the design, and then the whole administration will fly with one of Elon's SpaceX Starship to the opening ceremony with a nice firework. That would be worth spending the money, right?

    Nuclear power station. The reactor is replaced by an iceberg lettuce.SpaceX Starship explodes shortly after start.

  21. Sean Duffy actually said he wants us to be the 1st to take over the 🌙 hw is so embarrassing 🙄 like where have I heard that before. Its like we are in a Dispicable Me movie 🤦🏽‍♀️
