" Moon mining startup Interlune wants to start DIGGING for helium-3 by 2030 " ❗ Interlune, a startup with $18M funding (including Reddit co-founder Alexis Ohanian's firm), aims to be the first private company mining helium-3 from the Moon for Earth's fusion reactors, medical imaging, and quantum computing. Helium-3, trapped in lunar soil by solar winds, is inaccessible on Earth. Interlune's harvester will extract it and ship it back. They believe this is the first time lunar resource harvesting is feasible. The team includes former Blue Origin executives and an Apollo astronaut. Which startup would you start on moon .?

This sounds great, from what I've read helium-3 is not radioactive and is a source of clean energy. But wouldn't it increase the cost of the electricity produced as it will take a lot more money to go to the moon and mine helium-3 and come back with it?

Startups like interlune will dictate the future. That’s where I stand, science and material science is the future. Since lands are degrading day by day.
