Reflecting on Lunar Exploration 56 Years Later It’s hard to believe it’s been 56 years since NASA first landed humans on the moon. Over that time, our understanding of space, technology, and materials has expanded dramatically—far exceeding what was achieved during the Apollo 11 mission. Yet, one can’t help but wonder: why haven’t we returned? […]

Opponents should not hinder NASA’s nuclear approach to establishing a moon base

Opponents should not hinder NASA's nuclear approach to establishing a moon base

NASA’s interim administrator Sean Duffy highlighted the U.S.’s commitment to creating a lunar base by introducing plans for a 100-kilowatt reactor scheduled for deployment every month until 2030. The decision to prioritize a nuclear reactor as the first component of the lunar base makes sense. Unlike solar power, nuclear energy isn’t reliant on sunlight, so […]
