Moon Mining Rush Ahead?NASA is now accepting applications from companies that want to mine the moon

China Looking to Mine the Moon to Solve World's Energy Problems

The leader of Beijing's space program has said generating power via nuclear fusion using He-3 could "solve energy demand for 10,000 years at least".

It is a lighter version of helium-4, the gas that makes balloons float because it is lighter than air. But while the latter is ubiquitous on Earth, He-3 is comparatively rare.

It is now estimated to have 1.1million tons of reserves compared with Earth's stock of just a few hundred kilograms.
