He3 on the moon NOT for fusion

PLease do not lump me in with "Wretched" or Guth et al. for posting
here.

OK there are currently no fusion reactors to use lunar He3 but He3 is
still valueable. It is used in neutron detectors for nuke power
plants and is seriously expensive. It is so expensive that there are
research programs to find alternatives although there really are no
good ones.

Even at $2k/litre (the present inflated price, I believe) it is not
valuable enough to pay for bringing it back from the Moon. *It won't
pay until we need a LOT more of it.

I think the current price is actually too low because we are not
making more of it. However, it would be produced along with several
other lunar regolith products that are valueable such a iron nano-
particles.

Huh? How do you figure? If it's rare and we need it, folks will pay MORE
for it, not less.

If people won't pay more, they don't need it badly enough.

Jews will hoard just about anything if it's worth doing. On Earth
they've been creating artificial scarcities by hoarding the likes of
radium, among with many other elements and items that can be insider
speculated and traded for enormous profits and/or blood, because war
is always extremely profitable.
