NASA Set to Build Nuclear Reactor on Moon by 2030
NASA's interim administrator, Sean Duffy, has issued a directive to fast-track the development of a 100-kilowatt nuclear reactor destined for deployment on the Moon by 2030. This marks the first major policy initiative under Duffy's leadership and underscores a strategic shift toward sustainable and secure energy support for long-duration lunar missions. The directive instructs NASA to solicit proposals from private industry within 60 days, appoint a project leader, and design a reactor capable of powering lunar bases, habitats, and potential Mars missions. The move escalates previous plans centered on a 40 kW system to a more robust 100 kW design, reflecting the agency's renewed urgency. One of the driving motivations behind the accelerated timeline is geopolitical: China and Russia are jointly planning a lunar research base powered by nuclear technology in the mid-2030s. Duffy's directive explicitly warns that if those nations deploy a reactor first, they could declare exclusion zones that could limit U.S. access under the Artemis Accords. Nuclear power on the Moon is considered essential due to the limitations of solar energy during lunar night—each lunar night lasts about 14 Earth days—and permanently shadowed regions. A 100 kW reactor would ensure an uninterrupted energy supply for life support, communications, research labs, and robotics, particularly in regions holding potential water ice and Helium‑3 resources. This initiative aligns with NASA's broader restructuring agenda, which also includes replacing the aging International Space Station with commercially built space stations by 2030. Contracts for at least two private orbital platforms are expected within six months to maintain a U.S. human presence in Earth orbit. Despite past efforts in nuclear space power—such as the Kilopower reactor demonstrator and Fission Surface Power research programs—no reactor has yet been deployed. NASA previously awarded contracts to industry partners for designs around 40 kW, but Duffy's directive signals a major scale-up both in capacity and urgency. While ambitious, skeptics caution that technical challenges—including safe transport of enriched uranium, reliable lunar landing systems, and ensuring reactor safety—could complicate reaching the 2030 timeline. In sum, NASA's accelerated lunar reactor initiative represents a pivotal step toward ensuring energy independence and strategic advantage in the burgeoning era of Moon and Mars exploration, while also reshaping its reliance on public–private partnerships for orbital infrastructure.

Saiyaara Box Office Collections Cross Rs.500 Crore Mark
Mohit Suri's romantic drama Saiyaara, starring newcomers Ahaan Panday and Aneet Padda, has emerged as one of the biggest surprise hits of 2025. The film has officially crossed the ₹500 crore mark at the global box office in just 18 days, becoming the second Indian film this year to achieve such a feat. Released on July 18, Saiyaara has not only exceeded expectations but also proven that debut stars can lead a film to massive commercial success. According to reports, the film's total gross collection now stands at ₹507 crore worldwide. Domestically, Saiyaara has earned ₹3008 crore (net), which amounts to around ₹376 crore gross, according to a press release issued by the film's team. Internationally, the film has performed exceptionally well too, bringing in ₹130 crore from overseas markets. With these figures combined, the film has comfortably crossed the ₹500 crore milestone, placing it just behind Chhaava, which remains the highest-grossing Indian film of 2025 with a collection of ₹807.91 crore . The film's sustained performance highlights strong word-of-mouth, repeat viewership, and emotional resonance with audiences, which have helped maintain momentum well beyond its opening week. What makes Saiyaara 's success even more remarkable is the fact that it featured two debut actors and was made on a relatively modest budget of around ₹60 crore. Unlike many big Bollywood releases, the film didn't rely on extensive media promotions or interviews. In fact, Yash Raj Films made a deliberate decision to keep the film's leads away from the spotlight during the marketing phase, allowing the film to speak for itself. This unconventional strategy, paired with the film's strong emotional storytelling, seems to have worked in its favour. In just under three weeks, Saiyaara has transformed from a modest romantic film with debut talent into one of the biggest success stories of the year. With ₹507 crore in global earnings, it stands as proof that powerful storytelling, clever strategy, and genuine audience connection can rival even the most star-studded blockbusters. As the film continues its theatrical run, the industry will be watching closely to see if it can challenge the lifetime earnings of Chhaava and set even more records.

Nvidia-backed 'Super Bowl of AI' is going to Washington
Nvidia announced on Tuesday that the company's flagship and much-anticipated GTC conference will take place in Washington this year. During the last graphics processing unit technology conference (GTC) in March, chief executive Jensen Huang, who has become one of the tech world's most recognisable figures in recent years, described the event as the 'Woodstock' and 'Super Bowl' of artificial intelligence. The company said it is the first time the GTC summit, scheduled for October 27-29, will take place in Washington. 'GTC DC brings together researchers, developers, business leaders, and policymakers in the heart of our nation's capital to explore breakthroughs in AI, robotics, life sciences, energy, quantum and 6G-advancing innovations vital to America's technological leadership,' said Mr Huang. During Nvidia's GTC conference hosted in California this year, Mr Huang introduced new chips and spoke of his vision for Agentic AI, autonomous vehicles, robotics and accelerated computing. The announcement comes after he strongly endorsed President Donald Trump's recently announced AI Action Plan during an event in Washington. Nvidia's chief executive has made trips to Washington over the course of this year, and more specifically the White House, where he has sought to reverse what he has described harmful chip export policies enacted under former US president Joe Biden. Mr Huang has been somewhat successful with regard to those lobbying efforts: the Trump administration announced plans last month to grant licences to Nvidia so it could resume sales of its H20 GPU to China. That decision, however, was met with criticism from some Senate Democrats and technology analysts, who described the H20 chip sales to China was 'an abrupt departure' from the administration's position in April that Beijing's access to the processors posed a serious national security risk. Last week, a representative for the US Department of Commerce defended the licences and said they were an improvement on recent years, claiming that the Biden administration had not imposed 'any restrictions on the H20 whatsoever and they flowed freely into China'. The representative added that the Trump White House was the first to implement a licence requirement for the exports to Beijing. 'The Trump administration will consider any H20 licence applications carefully,' the Commerce Department representative told The National. Nvidia also defended the company's push to sell the H20 to China. 'The H20 helps America win the support of developers worldwide, promoting America's economic and national security,' an Nvidia representative told The National. 'It does not enhance anyone's military capabilities, and the US government has full visibility and authority over every H20 transaction.' Despite continued controversy over exports to China, Nvidia has had many reasons to do a victory lap in recent weeks. In July, it become the first public company in the world to pass $4 trillion in market capitalisation. Nvidia has also played a major role in a global AI infrastructure project backed by the UAE, and in May, the company, along with Oracle and OpenAI, teamed up with Abu Dhabi's G42 to bolster an AI hub project called Stargate UAE.
