Moon Nuke

Moon Nuke: A Novella

A steady supply of power was needed if the settlements on the Moon in Mare Frigoris were to keep growing.
But putting a nuclear reactor on the Moon was the greatest building project so far undertaken. It would take someone with more than building experience; it would take someone with courage.
Especially to face off against the experts when they got it wrong.

In the Remembered Earth Universe, those that would capitalize on Moon settlement want it done as cheaply as possible, that would be with AI and robots. But AI and robots don't always do the job, and when they don't, men have to pick up the pieces. But at what cost?

The Remembered Earth Universe covers the science and technology of the next hundred years, as mankind moves into cislunar space (defined as that space in and around the Earth-Moon system and slightly beyond), and takes tentative steps to destinations further.
