You might know that nuclear reactors are used along with turbines to generate electricity but what else could nuclear technology power? While battling brain fog brought on by fatigue, Laura and Antonia discuss future uses of high temperature heat to feed industrial clusters and look at two novel uses of nuclear power production that don't require reactors, but could be used to power space missions.

Read about heat requirements of smelting metals, power requirements of the experimental rig known as ALSEP as well as  the fateful Apollo 13 mission to the moon and the fuel cells for the command module, and diamond batteries.
