Hey Trif, Long time..... You were following H3 a long time ago. I read your post about H3 on your thread over a year ago I believe. H3 volatizes at approx. 600 degrees and is very harvestable. I am surprised more companies are not addressing going for it. A snug tin can to live in upon the moon and about a 3 month rotation for workers outta be about right without causing health problems for moon miners. But I am for the robotic collection method. Completely using micro rockets and robots. Small will do it faster and better. A small moon colony with less than 12 people running robotic operation. They could build and maintain a small electric operated mass launcher. Small containers weighing just a few kilos each containing pure H3 could be launched toward earth. That should get it into earth orbit to be retrieved by a robotic collection satellite. Almost completely automated. And one full container landed back on earth would be worth perhaps a couple of billion dollars......... I bet it could be accomplished for less than 500 million. And once online could provide a 50 billion profit per year within a few years. Of course we will have to develop low cost fusion reactors for the H3. But considering the profit potential I am surprised Exxon has not jumped on it. Once again these old fashioned oil companies do not think of themselves as energy companies. Otherwise we would head for dropping oil as the most likely source of energy. Most of this seems to be a dream to the public. But it is all completely doable. I am convinced that is why Richard Branson is wanting into the space tourist business so bad with his Virgin Galactic. He sees the potential lying in the surface of the moon. We will almost last long enough to see man achieve remarkable god like abilities. Too bad we may not last long enough to realize our potential. I bought some SPDV.ob a year ago just in case we make it. Bill
