    As an infrastructure project its conceptually pretty sick. A nuclear power plant would be fairly ideal for the first long-term human presence on the moon.

    The problem is that it’s Russia and China doing it.

      a country that is exceedingly good at space, and a country that is exceedingly good at infrastructure. sounds good to me.

        Don’t be obtuse.

        There are other concerns with developing space tech besides ones concerning competence and expertise.

        Even that is worth questioning, as Russia is suffering historical levels of brain-drain for obvious reasons.
