It’s a co-dependent relationship—but in a good way!
We loved Rachael Zisk recent article for Payload Space, pointing out that to establish a long-term, sustainable presence on the Moon, we must have scalable, reliable systems for returning material to Earth.

Closing the Loop on Lunar Exploration: Material Return
The challenge of creating a complete, end-to-end cislunar economy doesn’t end with touchdown—or even with setting up shop permanently on the surface. To close the loop, material from the Moon also has...

The current market price for helium-3 is $20 million per kilogram.
With uses such as superconducting quantum computing, weapons detection in national security, medical imaging, and developing clean fusion energy, we’re keeping an eye on it. 👀

Wait for it… Actually, don’t.
For decades, our only supply of helium-3 has come through the decay of tritium, a radioactive hydrogen isotope with a 12-year half-life.

Don’t call it a comeback
It’s been more than 50 years since humans last left bootprints on the Moon. And yes, we need to go back. Specifically, the U.S. is going back, but as @reuters.com David Doyle reports, today’s NASA Artemis Program has a commercial backbone.

Helium-3. After the past few weeks, you’ve probably heard of it. 📺 📰 📻 💻
At about $20 million per kilogram, it’s the most valuable resource you can harvest from space and bring back to Earth to sell.

Mining the moon: Can you make money harvesting helium-3?
"At $20 million a kilogram, you can put together a good business just going after He-3 for quantum computing over the next five to seven years. And that is what we are doing."

Last week, Head of Product James Antifaev joined @bluefors.com leaders in Tysons, VA, at Quantum World Congress.
When they weren’t busy deciding the future of quantum (which is what happens at this event), they had a blast being IRL instead of juggling global time zones.
