A memo released by the Trump administration on Tuesday detailed a goal of having a nuclear reactor on the moon’s surface by 2030, a move that furthers the United States’ quest for supremacy in space over China and Russia.

In the six-page document, the White House Office of Science and Technology Policy wrote that incorporating nuclear energy in space will be essential to advancing U.S. efforts in “space exploration, commerce, and defense applications.”

“Nuclear power in space will give us the sustained electricity, heating, and propulsion essential to a permanent presence on the Moon, Mars, and beyond,” the White House Office of Science and Technology Policy wrote on X.

NASA Administrator Jared Isaacman celebrated the memo, which outlined how nuclear reactors will be crucial for eventual deep-space exploration to Mars.

“The time has come for America to get underway on nuclear power in space,” Isaacman wrote on X.

The memo cited President Donald Trump’s December 2025 executive order titled “Ensuring American Space Superiority.”

It was signed just months after then-acting NASA Administrator Sean Duffy said on “Sean Hannity” that he wanted the U.S. to build a nuclear reactor on the moon before China does.

Last May, China and Russia agreed to work together to build a nuclear reactor on the moon’s surface by 2036.

The Department of War, Department of Energy, NASA and the Office of Science and Technology Policy have all been tasked with meeting the White House’s goals of deploying nuclear reactors on the moon’s surface and in the moon’s orbit.

TRUMP UNLEASHES NUCLEAR BOOM, POWERING AMERICA BACK TO ENERGY DOMINANCE

The memo outlines the Trump administration’s plan to deploy mid-power nuclear reactors in the moon’s orbit by 2028. Each nuclear power reactor will be designed to provide 20 kilowatts of energy, roughly the same amount used by an average American household.

The reactors will be designed to generate power for at least three years in orbit, and lunar surface-based nuclear reactors will provide energy for at least five years.

The memo’s publication comes just two weeks after NASA launched Artemis II, the first lunar flyby in more than 50 years. The mission was designed to test the Orion spacecraft’s deep-space navigation, manual piloting capabilities and life-support systems.

Broadhurst, traveling east on Interstate 40 to get onto U.S. 29 South, hit a guardrail and was ejected from his seat, and pronounced dead at the seen.

“He’s just always been the most polite, most respectful young man… and everybody came in contact with loved him,” Broadhurst’s mother, Latoya Lyles, said to WFMY News 2. “He left a lasting impression on anyone he encountered. I loved him with everything in me… I needed him in my life because he made me a better woman from the day he was born.”

“I was planning his 21st birthday… and it just seemed unreal cause now I’m having to plan his funeral,” she added.

The crash is still being investigated.

Broadhurst was set to wrap up his junior year at the school. His best season was his sophomore year where he played in all 12 games and recorded 19 total tackles.

Two women accusing Rep. Eric Swalwell, D-Calif., of sexual misconduct spoke out about their experience with the Democratic congressman who has announced his resignation amid the allegations.

Ally Sammarco and Annika Albrecht opened up about their interactions with Swalwell in an interview aired on “CBS Mornings.” Albrecht spoke out for the first time in the CBS interview, as Sammarco spoke to CNN about her experience previously. The bombshell allegations were reported by the San Francisco Chronicle on Friday.

Swalwell announced he would resign from Congress and ended his California gubernatorial campaign on Monday. He has denied the allegations but acknowledged past mistakes.

“He thought he was untouchable,” Sammarco told CBS. “He acted with total impunity. He never thought that the consequences of his actions would follow him.”

SWALWELL CALLS SEXUAL MISCONDUCT ALLEGATIONS ‘FLAT OUT FALSE,’ SAYS HE WILL FIGHT THEM ‘WITH EVERYTHING’

Albrecht told CBS that Swalwell “offered to mentor” her and stay in touch with her after meeting her student group in D.C. in 2019. She said that Swalwell created a group chat with all the students and added her on Snapchat.

“Ultimately, it reached a point where he invited me to a hotel to meet him. It was very clear what the connotation was. At that point I completely stopped responding. What I keep thinking back to is how lucky I am that I didn’t go to that hotel,” Albrecht said in the interview.

Sammarco had a similar experience in 2021, she said, after she messaged Swalwell something supportive via Twitter. To her surprise, she said, he responded.

Swalwell asked her if she was on Snapchat as well, and detailed one of the exchanges.

“It started out as professional and platonic and then slowly they became more and more explicit, asking me what I was wearing. Then one night he was on a trip, and he was laying in his hotel room bed, and then he sent me a photo of his penis,” she said.

CBS noted they were shown text messages she sent her friends about the Snapchats at the time. CBS reported that a few weeks ago, Albrecht had reached out to her friend, Cheyenne Hunt, a Democratic content creator who was also present during the interview, and asked her to make a video about her experience.

Hunt revealed during the CBS interview that she was inundated with direct messages from other women who had similar experiences.

“I was immediately slammed with DMs from other women who said I have a story to tell. And that was when I realized that this was a lot bigger than I think any of us knew,” she said during the interview.

Fox News Digital has reached out to Swalwell for additional comment on the allegations.
