Helium-3 Crisis! Demand now exceeds supply by a factor of ten. The price has jumped to $2,000 a liter from $100 in the last few years

The NYT article fails to mention that Helium-3 is relatively abundant on the Moon.

LCROSS Impact Data Indicates Water on Moon

"We are ecstatic," said Anthony Colaprete, LCROSS project scientist and principal investigator at NASA's Ames Research Center in Moffett Field, Calif. "Multiple lines of evidence show water was present in both the high angle vapor plume and the ejecta curtain created by the LCROSS Centaur impact. The concentration and distribution of water and other substances requires further analysis, but it is safe to say Cabeus holds water."

ESA sees H2O forming on the Moon from solar wind

Link: http://www.esa.int/esaCP/SEM8TBYRA0G_index_0.html

This discovery, made by the ESA-ISRO instrument "Sub-keV Atom Reflecting Analyzer" (SARA) onboard the Indian Chandrayaan-1 lunar orbiter, suggests how water is likely being created on the lunar surface.

The Moon is a big sponge that absorbs electrically charged particles given out by the Sun. These particles interact with the oxygen present in some dust grains on the lunar surface, producing water.

But there is a mystery....

One in 5 protons bounces off into space and is not absorbed. This was completely unexpected and remains unexplained.

New instruments can be designed to detect the bouncing protons, to learn more about the processes.

We have just scratched the surface of the Moon, stay tuned for more amazing discoveries.
