- yohann305 9y agowe're glad you're confident but let's agree your comment isn't bringing much value to the convo
- tehsauce 9y agoOkay lets see what the article actually says... "The moon, peppered with the impacts of asteroids over the eons, should also possess dollops of platinum and other precious metals. Helium-3, embedded in the lunar crust by the solar wind, could be fuel for future fusion power plants." Unconfirmed dollops of precious metals (no mention of how to extract this) and fuel for a type of reactor that does not exist. All this at the most inaccessible place humans have ever been! Sounds lucrative.
- mythas 9y agoThere is all sorts of money to be made on the moon. You can be a moon welder, you can lead EVAs for groups of tourists, you can even be a smuggler and sneak in Cuban cigars to the moons upper class.
