Hello again space cadets, Julian here for DNews. To reiterate, because I cannot stress enough that this is real, China is seriously considering mining the moon. But not for anything so worthless as gold or platinum. No no, for a rare isotope of helium called helium 3. Helium 3 is different than 99.999% of helium on Earth, helium 4. Helium 3’s nucleus consists of 2 protons and one neutron, and it’s theorized that it can be used for clean nuclear fusion. However helium 3 hasn’t been given much attention because it’s extremely rare and expensive. Currently Helium 3 is sold...
