The Moon

[lunkerslayer]

I have always wondered why we stopped going to the moon. There is more potential for sustainable energy in HE3. What do you guys think?

Instead of worring about Mars we should be focusing our resources on the moon.

With the amount of He3 there would be more than enough safe clean resources to make it viable commodity to the whole planet.

That seems like it would be insanely expensive. Not like we can run a pipeline from the moon to earth.

Maybe we can launch tankers back n forth. With big sling shots.

Seriously, cool idea. Just wonder how the costs can out-weigh the benefits.

This will most definitely be a world wide endeavor

I think since we (US) own the moon we should just core through it and reel it into the earth. Imagine the size of DL then!

Just as nobody owns Antarctica or the middle of the Atlantic Ocean international waters so is the moon considered international territory.

Research railguns, basically a big slingshot...

We have never been to the moon. I seen a documentary once that said so.
