Russia is reportedly planning to establish a nuclear power plant on the moon within the next decade.
This ambitious project aims to supply energy for its lunar space programme and a joint research station with China, as global powers intensify their efforts in lunar exploration.
Historically, Russia has held a prominent position in space, notably with Yuri Gagarin’s pioneering journey in 1961.
However, its dominance has waned in recent decades, with the nation now trailing behind the United States and, increasingly, China.
The country’s lunar aspirations faced a significant setback in August 2023 when its uncrewed Luna-25 mission crashed during a landing attempt.
Furthermore, the landscape of space launches, once a Russian speciality, has been revolutionised by figures such as Elon Musk, adding to the competitive pressure.
How the fuck they gonna get to the moon if they can’t get to Kiev?
Seems a bit ambitious for a country that has yet to even land successfully on the moon.
In the next few years?! Lol. That’s Elon Musk batshit crazy.
It’ll be the US and China going to the moon, most likely, in the next decade or so.
India and Japan also have aspirations.
with China
This answers a few questions
It’s like this ancient joke about the kid that says he and his dad know the answer to every question.
I want a new gameshow where two contestants say the most unbelievable shit to each other until the other has no retort. First episode is Trump and Putin.
Yea me too. Call the AP for a presser.
Lets see how long this special operation lasts.
Might keep Ukraine from blowing that shit up .
Kiev and Warsaw announce joint space program next week./s
You joke but I honestly think they could make it happen sooner.
Lunar chernobyl would be funny enough I’m here for it
So I’m curious, normally a nuclear power plant uses mass amounts of water to heat and cool in a steam based engine/turbine essentially, thus creating the power. Would this not take at least 300 successful moon landings just to get the water there, let alone the storage for the water and any other materials needed. So I imagine minimal 500 moon landings to get a small makeshift power station? Or am I missing something drastic here…
lol…… this isn’t happening.
The residents of the hollow Moon might object.
They plan
My plan is this orgy with Anna Kendrick (if I can pull her, wife might say yes) on the moon
Can I join? We’ll have to invite Aya cash too of course.
Everyone can join, still in the planning phase

…Elon Musk…
The moon, which is 384,400 km (238,855 miles) from our planet, moderates Earth’s wobble on its axis, which ensures a more stable climate. It also causes tides in the world’s oceans.
Sure, why not?
Umm… Cooling?
