Join Community

Summary

The Josh Universe - Space Discord Server community announced that Rolls-Royce's plans to deploy a nuclear reactor on the Moon by 2029 have been stopped. This halt is attributed to expired government contracts and a failure to secure necessary partners for the project, which aimed to power a permanent lunar base. This development is significant as it impacts the timeline for establishing sustained human presence on the Moon.
