A government official argues the U.S. should pursue bold projects like the Manhattan Project and Apollo program. He outlines plans to return humans to the Moon by 2028, establish a lunar base by 2030, and deploy a space nuclear reactor by 2028 for eventual Mars missions.

We as a government need to be opinionated about what the most important things are for the future of our nation. And there was an era beginning with the Manhattan Project, going through Apollo. We had big ideas, we had bold things that we wanted to accomplish. And national pride around them. And now, exactly. And it motivated young people to go into science. And we were looking at a North Star of something that a lot of people thought couldn't be done, but we did it. And I think there are places where we can do more of that. An example of that is all of the space related efforts. I mean, we're going putting man back on the moon in '28. We're gonna be able to build the first elements of a lunar base by '30. We're gonna put a nuclear reactor in space by '28. I mean, that's crazy. Yeah. If you told someone we're gonna put a nuclear reactor in space that can sort of, that has enough propulsion power to send folks to, to, to Mars in the next year and a half, that's nuts. Yeah. But we're gonna do it because we're Americans and we can accomplish that. That's so special.
