Strip-mining the Moon?
"Data collected from the Apollo Moon landings have indicated that large deposits of an extremely rare gas called helium-3 are trapped in the lunar soil. Scientists believe that this helium-3 could be used to create a new source of almost inexhaustible, clean, pollution-free energy on Earth.
"One of them is Dr. Harrison Schmitt, a member of the 1972 Apollo 17 mission and the only trained geologist ever to walk on the Moon.
"'A metric ton of helium-3 would supply about one-sixth of the energy needs today of the British Isles,' he claims. Plans are already afoot in the US and Russia to strip-mine lunar helium-3 and transport it the 240,000 miles (385,000km) back to Earth.
"The Moon, claims Professor Jerry Kulcinski of the University of Wisconsin-Madison, could become the Persian Gulf of the 21st Century."
Yeesh... not the most encouraging analogy.

Dark Side of the Moon movie is just another justification for "Buyer Beware" outlook for anything one gets from anyone one's hands cannot wring the neck of, be they products, processes or information. Life is endless choice and death is the result of such accumulation. Thanks for the info - it has been filed ahead of Hoagland and Capricorn One.
