"Helium-3 fusion reactors open up the opportunity to have power available for people on Earth in a way that's never been available before."
"Interlune wants to be the first to commercialize space resources, starting with helium-3, which it plans to begin harvesting from the moon."
The moon's allure has transitioned from mere fascination to industrial interest, particularly with the potential of helium-3 (He-3), a gas with promising applications in clean fusion energy. Interlune, a Seattle-based startup, aims to harvest He-3 from the moon and make it commercially available on Earth by the decade's end. He-3's rarity on Earth drives its high market value, around $20 million per kilogram, while its use in fusion reactors promises to deliver clean energy and alleviate energy poverty, especially in underserved regions like sub-Saharan Africa.
