The Moon, Mars, and Thorium-based Nuclear Power (with AJ Kothari)

In this episode of Hotel Mars (featuring co-host Dr. David Livingston), we talk to AJ Kothari about returning to the moon, potential visits to Mars, and the energy potential of thorium.

We're very pleased to welcome Dr. AJ Kothari, who is the man of two directions for us today. So much so that we have to get right to it. First, not only a return to the moon, but also the high frontier of Mars ahead of us.

Then something exotic that is fresh information: the thorium reactor.

We begin with the moon. Dr. Kothari’s article, published earlier this year, recommends returning to the moon without SLS (Space Launch System).

Why so?
