US vs China: Race to Build First Nuclear Reactor on the Moon| What it means for the future of space?
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MIkisFU0X1w
NASA plans to place a 100-kilowatt nuclear reactor on the Moon by 2030, while China is racing to do the same as part of its International Lunar Research Station project. Why nuclear? Because the Moon has 14-day-long nights, making solar power unreliable. A nuclear reactor could provide continuous energy for bases, life support, science labs, and even lunar manufacturing.

But this isn’t just about technology—it’s about geopolitics and influence. Whoever builds the first reliable power system on the Moon will shape the future of lunar exploration, resource extraction, and possibly the rules of space itself.
