12. I’m no fan of terrestrial nuclear power but there is no real space exploration without it
One lunar day is 28 earth days. In other words one lunar night last 14 days with temperatures dropping to -357F.

With such extreme temperatures, simple thermonuclear power will work. Decaying isotopes can provide ample heat and power.
