Vision for the European Space Economy: Positioning the EU as a leader in space

Helium-3 (He-3) on the moon's surface has drawn attention for decades. In 1939, a paper first noted the presence of Helium-3 on the moon. Still, it really came into the collective consciousness of space resource enthusiasts during the 1980s when they realized just how valuable a resource it was and how much the moon had of it. Now, a company called Interlune, a relatively new start-up based out of Seattle, presented a paper at the recent Lunar and Planetary Science Conference that discusses plans to try to mine some of that wealth of material economically.

What if the greatest treasure hunt in human history isn't buried on Earth, but scattered in plain sight on the Moon? Forget the old black-and-white photos; the Moon is back, and it's looking like a trillion-dollar jackpot. In this episode, we're diving into the new Moon Rush. We'll reveal how ancient asteroid impacts have peppered the lunar surface with over a trillion dollars' worth of platinum group metals, just waiting to be dug up. But the real prize, the resource that will change everything, is even simpler: water ice, frozen in the permanent shadows of polar craters. Why is water the new space gold? Because water is rocket fuel. The Moon isn't just a destination anymore; it's the gas station for the entire solar system. But this cosmic gold rush has a dark side. We're heading into a lawless frontier with no international rules, a true Wild West in space. Are we about to unlock a new era of prosperity for Earth, or trigger the first off-world conflict over priceless resources? This isn't science fiction. This is the new space economy, and the first land grab is happening now. Hit play to get the full briefing on humanity's next giant leap. After you listen, join the debate: should we mine the moon for its riches, or preserve it as a scientific treasure?
