Duffy to announce nuclear reactor on the moon

123. They would need alternative cooling strategies, as dark-side temps run around -130'C and sunlit-side +120'C

The availability of water will be an issue, with some ice-mining involved. Fortunately, lunar water contains a lot of hydrogen isotopes (deuterium, tritium) useful for fusion reactions.

This will be a tough problem that will need to be at least partially solved to enable any long-term exo-colony development. Sub-surface colonies with minimal top-side facilities are the likeliest initial mitigative approach, although eventually humans might use something like the "iron dome" technology to intercept and destroy or redirect incoming meteors.

We shouldn't enter into such a venture lightly, pretending there are no hazards, nothing to learn, and no problems to solve. Unfortunately, F47's team of wastrel idiots likely will do just that.
