The UK Space Agency has announced funding for Rolls-Royce to build a nuclear reactor that would support a future moon base.

The current 2.9 billion (~$3.52 billion) given by the agency follows 249,000 (~$302,000) provided last year for the project.

The funding announcement comes only two days after NASA and AXIOM Space released the prototype spacesuit Artemis III astronauts will wear on the moon.
