RE: No commercial method of extraction1 Oct 2025 10:00
"NASA and the U.S. Government are actively funding lunar helium-3 extraction, with regolith concentrations estimated between 1.4 and 15 ppb, averaging around 4 ppb. Grants and early purchase agreements are supporting technologies for regolith heating, GAS SEPARATION, and transport, reflecting helium-3's strategic importance. In this context, the significance of Pulsar's discovery is clear, with terrestrial helium-3 levels now comparable to, and potentially exceeding, average concentrations found on the Moon, without the need for lunar excavation
