Blue Origin Founders Want To Harvest Helium-3 From The Moon

Over billions of years, the surface of the Moon has been bombarded by solar wind, carrying high-energy particles that include a highly coveted resource, helium-3. Although the element is scarce on Earth, it has recently become in demand by several industries, including those working on quantum computing and nuclear fusion reactors.

"There is growing demand for Helium-3 across burgeoning and potentially massive industries," Alexis Ohanian, one of the main investors in Interlune's latest round of funding, said in a statement. "We invested in Interlune because access to the ample cache of Helium-3 and other precious natural resources on the Moon and beyond will unlock or accelerate technological advancements currently hindered by lack of supply."
