Chlorophyll and cellulose grow well right here and there are oceans full of water for plants [with deionizing]. Australia, the Sahara, Gobi, and parts of the USA are quite barren so there's no shortage of places to grow fuel crops. I'd back that before launching rockets to the Moon. I think we need to go back to the moon for government funded research. But any mining operations should be private ventures. If private industy thinks HE3 is profitable, why stop it? Despite the large quantity of rock for the small amount of HE3 processed, extraction is fairly simple, and the product easily transportable in that it is small for the huge amount of power. But of course it could well be too expensive because of the large volume and the expense of space ships.
