We might find it quite difficult to extract from the stars, that said.
- ASalazarMX 6mo agoIt might be expensive compared to improved Earth mining, but lunar regolite is rich in Helium 3, there would be no need to mine stars. The funny part is, lunar regolite soaks Helium from its exposure to solar wind, so mining it would be an indirect mining of a star, our sun.
- adrian_b 6mo agoIt is pretty much impossible to extract it from stars, but the 4 big planets have large amounts of helium. It would be quite expensive to extract it from there, due to the necessity of escaping from their gravitational field, but not impossible.
- kakacik 6mo agoIf we have such advanced tech, and trip to big planets would seem economically feasible, I think we will be long beyond the point of desperately needing transporting helium to do such crazy trips.
- aeternum 6mo agoOnce we have the tech to cross the world's oceans in luxury, I think we will be long beyond the point of desperately needing to transport oil in ocean liner sized ships to do such crazy trips.
