>What we need to be doing is mining the Moon for power This meme of we should mine Helium-3 from the moon needs to die already. This kind of thinking is so backwards it's astounding to me that anyone can come up with it. Why would we mine the moon for power that we can't yet use? No one is going to go to the moon to energy for a fuel source that might be in use in the future. It's like spending billions marketing to people in sub-saharan Africa before you have a product designed, much less built.
