@Designandrew Ya muslims are not really into space. : (
I was pissed when NYC got a Space Shuttle and we (Houston) did not. Playing politics with our lives, thanks Kenya's finest!

Helium three bubbles from the deep sea! And he is produced by fields of green crops

Do any of you watch or read the material before commenting? I love the people that think we will be transporting Rock back to earth. Or that we'll be mining Tritium, and saying it won't work because it has a half life of 6 years. The Fusion combination we will be using is Helium 3 and Deuterium. Do any of you realize the Massive energy requirments projected by 2050? We need to make the hard decisions, invest and move forward. Now!

There is one fundamental problem with producing the energy on the moon and then beaming it via microwaves to earth. As I understand there are 3 types of fusion. 1st Combining Deuterium with Tritium. 2nd Helium 3 with Deuterium (far less Radioactive waste) and 3rd combining Helium 3 with Helium 3 (perfect reaction. NO radioactive waste). The third is beyond us atm.So the 2nd is viable.Where are you going to get the Deuterium on the moon? It is an element that occures in bodies of water on Earth.

@MyZoosh they only make 8000 liters a year

@hayden50 The modern aircraft (at least passenger and cargo) have a hull that will reflect these kinds of beams. As far as money is concerned, it would eventually be cheaper to manufacture the energy on the moon and send it via beams of energy rather than transporting the actual helium 3
-
@PaperMoneyShow i have a question : what happens to an aircraft that fly through these microwaves & infrared rays?
-
These guys are doing it wrong! You do not mine the Helium-3 and bring it back to earth to turn it into energy. You mine it on the moon, fuse it there, and send the energy as microwaves or infa red rays giving us 80% of the energy from the reaction. While this method seems like you are losing 20%, you might as well add in the cost of the trip to and from the moon. Its much easier to send the energy as waves rather than by shipments.

I hope we can soon go to jupiter for helium 3 in the future. After we mine the moon for it

@Designandrew The US is broke you didn't read the memo?
Maybe if Washington stop creating new wars abroad there will be some money left for the space program.
would taking mass amounts of rock from the moon and putting it on earth increase earths mass? If it does, would it increase earths gravity?

@NicenEasyuk @NicenEasyuk A lot of people have made comments regarding mankind destroying the moon if we mine Helium3. If we do mine Helium3 only a thin top layer of the surface is removed, This is then heated and the Helium 3 is extracted, the remaining Dust,soil or rock is then disposed back on the moons surface.
Eventually over thousands of years the surface will naturally absorb Helium3 once again form the suns rays..
Hopefully we would have long moved on by then to other outer planets.

how do you contain helium3

@msangelareid
Helium 3 can be handled and stored the same way liquid helium is.
