Breaking: China, Russia & U.S. Race to Build Nuclear Reactor on the Moon – Who Will Win?!

“Breaking: China, Russia & U.S. Race to Build Nuclear Reactor on the Moon – Who Will Win?!”
NASA is pushing hard to become the first to install a nuclear reactor on the Moon — targeting a 100-kilowatt power system by 2029. But China and Russia have their own joint plan: a nuclear-powered International Lunar Research Station by the mid-2030s. Their approach could establish “restricted zones” near the Moon’s South Pole, limiting access for others. In this episode, we explore why nuclear power is essential for long-term lunar presence, how timelines are converging, and what restricted zones could mean for global space governance. As multiple nations prepare for permanent activity on the Moon, the question is no longer just about landing — it’s about who defines the future of space. Don’t miss this breakdown of one of the most important developments in modern space history.
