Moon Power Race Just Got Real | Russia vs US vs China | Russia Plans a Nuclear Reactor on the Moon

Описание: Let’s break it down.

Russia is openly talking about deploying a lunar power plant by 2036 to support long-term operations on the Moon and a Russia–China lunar research station concept.

But here’s the bigger story: on the Moon, power = permanence. The first country that can generate reliable energy can run rovers nonstop, build infrastructure, extract resources, and shape the rules of the next space era.

In this episode of Imran Breaks It Down, I explain in simple English:

Why a lunar reactor is about staying, not just landing
Why nuclear beats solar in extreme lunar conditions
How this connects to a wider U.S.–China–Russia space competition
What international rules allow (and why politics still gets tense)
The 5 signals to watch in 2026 as the “Moon power race” accelerates

If you want more calm, useful breakdowns like this, subscribe — and comment: is lunar nuclear power a normal step for exploration… or the start of a dangerous strategic race?

The video discusses Russia's proposal for a lunar nuclear power plant, signaling the moon's increasing importance for long-term presence and influence, marking a new chapter in the ongoing "space race."

It highlights China's efforts towards a sustained "lunar" future, viewing it as crucial infrastructure, and questions Russia's capability to deliver on its proposals, especially regarding a "nuclear reactor" on the moon. This exploration of a potential "china moon base" and future "moon mission" shows the strategic shift towards lunar colonization.
