Yeah, there was a period in time where people were discussing Helium-3 as a source of fuel that we could very easily and efficiently farm on the moon, which was seen as a key step in becoming a space-faring species. Okay, so we know where the fuel is and we can get there, so companies can start using Earth fuel to send helium-3 extraction machines, which can then be used to collect fuel for them to use in further missions and eventually, a small amount of helium-3 will be used to fuel a mission that returns with massive amounts of it, so we have a fuel, and now we can start exploring space even further, with people. It was the clear direction to take.

It’s a bit of a fantasy, I think. There is nothing profitable about space exploration. It’s either science experiments or nationalist dick measuring.
Yeah, and then use a slingshot thingy to move a container into low earth orbit in exchange for a container being shot to the moon thingy
