NASA, DOE, and the Department of War are all pulling in the same direction - and the result could reshape how America powers the moon, Mars, and beyond. Dr. Justin Coleman sits inside the programs making it happen, and he breaks down how we get from today’s reactor work to a real nuclear future in space.

From the fuel line at Idaho National Lab to the launch path for SR1 Freedom and Skyfall, this conversation goes deep on the engineering, regulation, and mission design behind the next era of nuclear. If you want to understand why mobile microreactors, space reactors, and nuclear electric propulsion suddenly matter more than ever, this episode is packed with answers.

Justin shares how years of work on spent fuel, structural dynamics, and reactor testing built the foundation for the programs he leads now. He also explains why the space  ...
