Extra: Lunar Nuclear Reactors and Winning The Modern Space Race - The Fox News Rundown

U.S. Transportation Secretary and Acting NASA Administrator Sean Duffy recently announced plans to build a nuclear reactor on the moon. He says it will be crucial to compete with the growing lunar ambitions of China and Russia. Former NASA Administrator Jim Bridenstine recently joined FOX News Rundown host Chris Foster to explore Secretary Duffy's call for American nuclear reactors in space and how they could be used as an energy source to fuel future space missions and the development of the moon. Bridenstine explained how important it is for the U.S. to win the modern space race against China and Russia. He also broke down the evolving legal debate over colonizing the moon and why he predicts that mining rare metals there will become both very lucrative and vital to America’s national and economic security. The former congressman and Navy pilot also weighed in on the legacy of Jim Lovell, the astronaut best known as the commander of the ill-fated Apollo 13, who passed away earlier this month.
