President Donald Trump’s transportation secretary, Sean Duffy, has ordered NASA to build a nuclear reactor on the moon, just weeks after being named interim head of the space agency.
Duffy’s appointment as NASA’s chief administrator came after Elon Musk’s pick for the post, billionaire Jared Isaacman, was abruptly jettisoned by the administration following the SpaceX CEO’s public falling-out with the president.
Yet despite facing questions over his ability to effectively perform two high-profile jobs, the former Real World and Road Rules star has signaled his intent to play a major role in policymaking decisions at NASA, ordering the agency to have a working lunar reactor ready to go by 2030.
