TonyTiger66 Posted February 3, 2017 Share Posted February 3, 2017 It's interesting stuff Chris. I do hope some 'one' returns to the moon before I'm pushing up daisies, if only to shut up the conspiracy theorists and naysayers. They get on my wires, ruining some of the fondest memories of my childhood. I found this by Wired. It's a bit more informative on the general concepts. Other articles on Australian websites stress the Trimp administration's financial interest in mining the moon. I haven't pasted those to respect BM non political policy. http://www.wired.co.uk/article/space-mining-a-reality-in-2016 All the best TonyT 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jessica Posted February 10, 2017 Share Posted February 10, 2017 The article doesn't even attempt to mention the uncomfortable reality that Helium 3 isn't actually useful for fusion, so going to the moon to mine it is an even bigger waste of money.

Sounds like President Womble. I mean, now there's a president named after flatulence, surely we can have one named after cuddly recycling beasties on Wimbledon Common? I mean, they were international; 'Great Uncle Bulgaria'. The moon's no good for mining anything but soup, any interstellar dragon can tell you that.
