MOON FABRIC it is at the center of a final decision made by the NASA space agency for the future of humanity, everything was just a project last summer, but now it is moving to finalizing the plans and starting the actual work to fulfill everything. More precisely, in the summer we told you that NASA wants to build a nuclear reactor on the moon to support the colonization project of the Earth's natural satellite, and it seems that everything will soon be carried out by the Americans.
MOON FABRIC it will have a nuclear reactor built on the moon either by NASA in collaboration with some US private companies, or only by the latter, and both the US space agency and the US Department of Energy are involved in the project. The two institutions are now asking for offers from private companies to build a nuclear reactor, a transport system for it, and a landing platform on the moon, all to be ready by 2026.
MOON: INCREDIBLE decision with HUGE IMPACT for Humanity
MOON FABRIC it will not have the nuclear reactor assembled there, but it will be sent ready-made directly from the Earth, so that it would only land there, and provide the necessary energy to support a construction of not too large dimensions in which the astronauts will stay. The moon is not the only location where NASA wants to have a nuclear reactor, the planet Mars is also targeted, but considering that it is much further away, the plans are more difficult to put into practice.
“Once the technology is proven through demonstration, future systems could be scaled up or multiple units could be used together for long-duration missions to the Moon and eventually Mars. Four units, providing 10 kilowatts of electricity each, would provide enough power to establish an outpost on the Moon or Mars. The ability to produce large amounts of electricity on planetary surfaces using a fission surface power system would allow for large-scale exploration, establishment of human outposts, and use of in situ resources, while allowing the possibility of commercialization.”
MOON FABRIC it will have a nuclear reactor capable of supplying 10 kW of energy, so not quite that much, but enough to support a reduced but permanent presence of people on the surface of the natural satellite. It is not known how many hundreds of millions, or billions, of dollars should be spent for this plan to be completed, but it is quite clear that very large investments are needed, especially since the private sector is involved, which must to make a profit from all these missions.
MOON FABRIC it will have a human crew sent again by NASA to its surface until 2026, so the humans will arrive first, and only then will we see a nuclear reactor, or whatever else NASA wants to send there.
