Inside NASA's fast-track plans for lunar nuclear power and new space stations to outpace global rivals
Acting NASA Administrator Sean Duffy explains how the agency's Artemis program aims to return Americans to the Moon on'Hannity.' Amid significant budget cuts, NASA is fast-tracking the development of nuclear reactors on the moon and next-generation space stations with one clear objective: beating U.S. adversaries in the new space race. Two new memos signed by interim NASA chief and Transportation Secretary Sean Duffy outline a bold strategy to secure strategic ground on the moon. The centerpiece of this effort is a lunar nuclear reactor, a renewable and stable power source to support long-term exploration. "The goal is to power everything," a senior NASA official told Fox News Digital. "Our systems, habitats, rovers, robotic equipment, even future mining operations -- everything we want to do on the moon depends on this."
