Helium?? I live out here on a sea of helium. The government shut it down because we don’t do Blimps anymore but you want helium , just go to the Texas Panhandle. With all due respect , the Flash Gordon stuff is a pipe dream. The only thing we actually got out of the space program (don’t give me that computer lie) was Tang and nobody drinks it anymore.
There’s a ton of Helium3 in the Texas Panhandle? Or is it that you don’t know what you’re talking about?
NASA indeed needs a kick in the pants and a major, MAJOR audit. At the VERY least, they need to kick out the Man-Made Global Warming BS Artists like James Hanson.
But NASA’s basic mission of exploration & discovery is indeed a sound and necessary one.
It would appear that you are inhaling copious quantities of the helium surrounding you. Did you miss your college chemistry class on isotopes? Or did you skip chemistry completely?
Helium 4 is abundant on earth, most of it trapped in the oil that is pumped out of the ground. It is so light (He has a molecular weight of 4, air is ~80% nitrogen-2 with a molecular weight of 14) that it rises up through the atmosphere an becomes “one with the universe.”
Helium 4 is not a reactant in any fusion reaction; helium 3 is. Helium 3 can be used to produce power.
The universe is made up of the same elements found on earth. The proportion of these elements varies with their position in the universe. Everything needed to produce anything can be found beyond the earth’s atmosphere. Water exists everywhere, it is only a question of density; the amount of water per square centimeter.
Generally: lots of water - good; not a lot of water - not so good.
One day we’ll get their in spite of the efforts of neo-Luddites like you.
