    How do you view the space program? Are the costs justifiable of the proposed lunar manned-landing in 2017?

    helium-3 is a fuel source which means it can be converted into energy and as fossil fuel runs out on earth, helium-3 may be the answer for the future.

    "The moon contains 10 times more energy in the form of helium-3 than all the fossil fuels on the earth." thats how much helium-3 there is ;)

    still with this helium-3 to me = a bad idea. taking material from any other planet and brinigin it to ours changes the earths weight and the moons woudl change as well... is it a heavy substance? lol or is it very light Oo.. rather i shoudl say dense... anyways it seems like there are too manay unknowns to be taking material from other planets or moons and bringing them to earth.. who knows it could also bring a disease that wipes us out :|
