US ready to return to moon

#22

Quote:Helium-3 is a major one and is the reason Harrison Schmitt, the only geologist to ever walk on the moon, encourages our return there to mine it.  He's convinced Helium-3 is why the Chinese have increased their interest in exploring the moon.
 

Nope.


Helium-3 can be used instead of tritium (hydrogen-3) in fusion, but it takes twice the energy to initiate the reaction, and mankind still hasn't succeeded in efficient controlled fusion using tritium. Also, manufacturing tritium isn't nearly as expensive as bringing back something from the moon even if it were in a single lump, and the He-3 is not concentrated in one spot, it's spread out very thinly over the lunar surface.

ABOUT US
The Jungle Forums is the Jaguars' biggest fan message board. Talking about the Jags since 2006, the Jungle was the team-endorsed home of all things Jaguars.

Since 2017, the Jungle is now independent of the team but still run by the same crew. We are here to support and discuss all things Jaguars and all things Duval!
