Wonder what all those microwaves flying around would do. Gotta be worse than living under high voltage wires.

H3 is the only answer for going to the moon.

Burt Rutan and Virgin are certainly thinking about it.

So is Space Development Corp. out of San Diego. SPDV.ob is one of the few micro space plays.

I envision moon spiders weighing a few pounds each powered by solar running around with probes extending into the top 3' of the surface collecting H3 atoms. Totally robotic collection force of thousands of them. One load of the atoms worth more than a years production of the saudi pimps.

Make a prize of 3 billion dollars to the first person or company to bring back an ounce of H3 along with a contract to purchase any H3 collected. Hell, make it 5 billion.

Within a few years we could be doing this.

Instead we rattle the fear chains.

If we stood up and told the sauds to fruck off and did the necessary work we could guarantee a future. Of course Halliburton would not make much off that.

OK, lets get Halliburton in the moon business. Then we could export these wars off to the backside of the moon where if they made a mistake it would be pointed away from us. There they could do everything in secrecy and we could watch TV and not care.

No wait. We are already doing that.
