A moon full of helium

Scientists believe that solar winds have been depositing huge amounts of helium on the surface of the moon over billions of years, collecting and building up in the lunar soil like dust settling on your desk.

********

How could we extract helium from the sun?

We’ve researched the ideas that have been proposed so far and they are, if you pardon the pun, out of this world.

Each solar eruption carries a trickle of helium. So the first thing we’d have to do is increase the amount of solar ejections.

To do that, giant lasers could be used to shoot areas of the sun, causing it to heat up and emit solar flares and winds at our request.

See? Problem solved. No need to thank me.
