Transporting fissile material with chemical rockets is dangerous, it's making a dirty bomb and hoping it explodes in one direction. That hasn't always worked for transporting people.
If we say there's no life on the Moon, we still plan to be there. The fallout could affect the use of the Moon, which is far more important.
- pm90 6y agoSure, it’s question of relative risk. It’s likely that people living on the moon would be wearing protective suits/inside lunar facilities anyways. I guess the question is if it’s riskier to transport fissile material as cargo vs in an engine. I am not sure what the relative risk would be.
