While the cost of retrieving the material may be prohibitive, in the world of Moon, Lunar Industries has found a way to make a profit,
If its the fuel that some believe it to be, the world would pay our way and then some. From what I've read, a load small enough to fit in a shuttle cargo bay would fuel the entire world for a year.
Maybe that's the real value of the movie. Use science fiction to drive science fact.

From the article:
Rockwell excels in portraying both of these hapless characters as they struggle in an Orwellian future where a corporation has the means and the desire to manipulate mind, memory and genome. This vision of corporate corruption is the basic premise of the film...They lose me there. I am sick of the evil corporation plot line...

Sounds like "2001" meets "Silent Running".

Sam Rockwell’s a good actor. He played Chuck Barris in “Confessions of a Dangerous Mind”, based on Barris’ book which claimed that while he was working on “The Gong Show” and “The Dating Game”, he was a hitman for the CIA. (Somehow I have a hard time believing that).

The only way Hollywood ever describes corporate America is that it is depraved. Just like all military veterans are either victims or criminals, all suburbs are seething pits of repressed rage and all middle-class fathers have incest with their children. These guys really need to get some new cliches, the old ones are very tired. I think I’ll skip this.

David Bowie’s son, Duncan Jones, wrote and directed Moon. Reviews have been excellent. He describes himself as a geek.
There’s talk of an Oscar nomination for Rockwell.
Jones’ next movie is “Escape from the Deep” based on the best selling WWII submarine novel and real life story.
