Can helium-3 create a ‘gold rush’ on the moon?

The rare isotope helium-3 is one of Earth’s most precious commodities—so precious, in fact, that it might prove profitable to mine from the moon

Interlune wins $6.9M from NASA to analyze lunar gases
NASA has awarded a $6.9 million contract to Seattle-based Interlune for the development of a system that can extract gases such as helium-3 and hydrogen from lunar soil and rocks.

The system will be developed and tested on Earth under the terms of an 18-month Small Business Innovation Researc

#NASA has awarded Seattle-based #Interlune $6.9 million to develop a payload suite that can cook gases out of #moon dirt and look for traces of potentially valuable #hydrogen and #helium3. The project fits into Interlune's grand plan to sell lunar helium-3 for earthly applications. https://www.geekwire.com/2026/interlune-nasa-contract-extract-helium-3-hydrogen-moon/ #Space #Regolith
Interlune wins $6.9M NASA contract to create system to extract helium-3 and hydrogen from moon dirt

Seattle-based Interlune will build and test a payload that advances its plan to bring back lunar helium-3 for use in quantum computers.

Hélium-3: la Suisse participe à la ruée vers les minerais lunaires

La Lune regorge de ressources valant des centaines de milliards de dollars. États-Unis, Europe et entreprises suisses comme Maxon s’activent pour les extraire.

All humanity should benefit from Helium-3, our new 'petroleum.' If, for example, SpaceX became the elite with the infrastructure, they should handle responsibility, accountability, and very high criticism, especially if SpaceX became the sole miner of the Moon because no others did.

If an Artemis crew were stranded on the Moon, they should just eat the helium-3 devoutly believed to exist there in vast piles and drifts.
