Given the energy yield, He3 would sell for something like $1,000,000 a kg. It’s very easy to picture a viable business with numbers like that - even considering the high cost of getting there and back. If only the market was there for it.

If its the fuel source some claim it to be, I suspect a market would grow pretty quickly among developed nations and reactors were built.
As I understand it, Helium 3 can't even be used to produce weapons.

If they ever build the Space Elevator that cost would be greatly reduced.

Profits would be easily obtainable.
