You should be ashamed...
New Nuclear Power Plant
- Thread starter Engineer1911
- Start date
After years of posting lame puns and being sent to my room by the late, great, shouldazagged, I have become shameless.
Any moon-based reactors would not be built to send electricity to earth.
Their output would be used to power various operations (civilian and military) and life support systems on the moon.

Nah, don't worry- the aliens won't let them build on their moon base LOL
My first thought also. That show was nowhere near as good as I remembered it, but it had Barbara Bain. That covered a multitude of flaws.Space: 2039??
There was a show, also produced by Gerry Anderson in the U.K., called "UFO" that was a predecessor to Space:1999. I was a big fan of it back when I was about 12 or so. One of the stars was Wanda Ventham, who played Col. Virginia Lake. She is also the mother of Benedict Cumberbatch. I had a major kid crush on her!
I believe in the future large metro areas (non-moon) will require small nuke plants to provide stable delivery. AI, data centers, factories,
electric vehicles (it their still around) will require large amounts of power only nuke energy can provide.

I have both series on DVD. UFO is pretty bad from a modern perspective looking back, but some of the special affects were remarkable back then. The mylar outfits were a hoot. Space: 1999 1st season holds up a little better, but the 2nd season was awful.
I was always more of a Sandra (Zienia Merton) fan...
Are they served by Arthur Godfrey with malt vinegar?
I found it on Pluto channel (I think) a couple years ago and rewatched several episodes. Didn't hold up well after a few decades of watching Star Trek, Star Wars and a bunch of other stuff with better special effects, CGI, and way better plots. But Col. Lake with her sexy Brit accent was as foxy as ever!UFO is pretty bad from a modern perspective looking back, but some of the special affects were remarkable back then. The mylar outfits were a hoot.
EPA wont allow it. The impact studyvssid it would kill the North American moon rock weasel. Then you got the protesters in space suits protesting. Then emminate domsin in moving the man on the moon and reloacting the cow. Not to mention you csm build a nuclear plant on cheese....just wont work.
How about fixing social security, medicare, health insurance, feeding the poor, medicaid first?
Giving the boot to about 20 million illegals would help some with all of those problems.

That's pretty much the idea behind the SMRs. Compact nuke power plants of a standardized design that can be easily and quickly constructed anywhere that large quantities of power is required, such as to service large data centers, even supplying electricity to those users located in remote areas off the grid anywhere in the world.

I posted this on another thread but i think it is more appropriate here.
The moon is but a stepping stone for further exploration of our solar system and beyond. Getting past some of our current understanding of the laws of physics will be required to make that leap to other solar systems in our galaxy. That will likely be several generations away. My father was a member of AIAA and some of those scientists had looked into some very interesting ideas concerning space travel/exploration.

AIAA has played a critical role in advancing space exploration, inspiration, and discovery since the beginning of modern rocketry.

The Forum's optimism is overwhelming ! 
Yes thanks. Well, wrap me up in the London Times!I think you meant Arthur Treacher...
