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.

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.
