Dr Octavios failed. So Octomom is now the point on this project.

Truth be knowm Senator/Astronaut Harrison Schmitt proposed in his book "Return to the Moon" that helium 3 is plentiful on the moon, (not available here on earth) and could fuel fusion reactors. The electricity produced would be converted to microwaves and beamed to earth where it be converted to electricity and power all of mankind!

That would be a great plan, except for the microwave transmission (the downlink area would be too dangerous to enter, and would be huge, and would heat the world, and mostly wouldn’t be able to function unless the Moon were somewhere overhead), and the fact that Helium-3 still requires controlled fusion technology of some sort.
