NASA to spend $15 billion of tax-payers’ money on designs for nuclear reactors on the moon.

 In a newly announced initiative, NASA has commissioned three individual
companies to produce plans for the possible use of nuclear power bases on
the Moon. With the potential of such bases becoming more than just a
concept by the late 2020s, the three companies involved – Lockheed Martin,
Westinghouse, and a joint effort between Intuitive Machines and X-Energy
named XI – will command the contract value of an estimated $5 billion each
for their individual designs of lunar-based nuclear fission system.
