    It’s abundant on the moon. It can be mined. There’s another space race going on. We don’t hear about it because the west isn’t winning. And we’re in the middle of another cold war where propaganda must control the narrative.

      Last I heard, the West was still on course to be on the moon first (again).

      On the moon there’s specifically small but valuable amounts of adsorbed Helium 3, which is far rarer yet on Earth. It’s not going to displace the normal Helium in use.
