The United States is fast-tracking plans to build a nuclear reactor on the Moon in response to China and Russia's growing activity in space.
US media reported last week that Sean Duffy, NASA's interim administrator and US transportation secretary, said the country could complete the project as early as 2030. It will also be much stronger than anticipated; while previous designs assumed the nuclear reactor would have around 40 kilowatt power, it's now expected to 100 kW.
