I also enjoy these space exploration topics. However, I am curious. How do we know the moon has vast amounts of Helium 3(whatever that is). I remmeber there was series on the Apollo missions that was doen by Tom Hanks. In one of the final missions they actually had a real "Geology" mission. I dont recall anything about anysort of Helium reserves.
HE-3 is found on earth in microscopic amounts, and on the moon in great quantitys.
HE-3 is being looked at in a few research instutes as a replacement for oil. It is estimated that a shuttle load of HE-3 would power the entire U.S. for 100 years. It is used in a cold fusion reactor.
I can send you a URL on HE-3 or you can google it. Really interesting stuff.
Not cold fusion, hot fusion.
