Why would you need an energy plant on the moon? What are you powering?
Edit: Fuck China and Winnie the Pooh 🐻
In a landmark announcement, China has revealed plans to build a nuclear power plant on the moon in collaboration with Russia, targeting completion by 2035. The project, unveiled on April 23, 2025, during a conference in Shanghai, aims to power the International Lunar Research Station (ILRS), a joint venture between the two nations. This ambitious initiative underscores China’s goal to become a dominant space power and marks a significant step toward permanent human presence on the moon.
I will believe it when I see it personally, but I do like that china has been signaling a lot of interest in funding tons of space research projects.
A nuclear and solar are the only real viable energy sources in space imo so it doesn’t seem impossible
They have to get to the moon first. They’ve only just got to space.
I don’t understand where they’ll get the copious amounts of water from?
Space Force the TV show going to be a documentary soon.
