Did one of these in Scotland last night, fascinating. If it's all about harnessing Helium3 as a new energy source can someone fill me in about the colonisation (I found the use of that word worrying!), the contamination and whatever the space equivilent term for globalisation is?
Not convinced about the economics of harvesting Helium 3 from the moon.
The fusion reactions with Helium 3 are the best but you can produce it by neutron bombardment from Lithium which strikes me as a much better way than attempting to harvest the very small amounts on the moon
It's only 10 parts per billion!
I think the people who are on for this are really people who are looking for a justification for manned space exploration rather than people with a real financial interest.
That makes me feel better, I had the worrying thought that we might repeat the mistakes of a previous century. So its the rich men's playground? 'spose it beats Marbella!
