God bless the BBC.
Great docu, by the way.

And when they land they will open a Mcdonals. So next time the Americunts supposedly go to the moon they can have a doubble whopper fries and a large cola

Well, the question is not if the Moon should be mined, but how is this going to help if helium 3 will get sold like today’s oil. Why should we keep practicing the same method of resources usage, since it’s proved to be false? There is an ethical issue over here as well, you can’t sell something that belongs even back from our starting point to all humanity, even if you’re the one to bring it over here (besides, the space missions are going to be international).

Just imagine the possibilities of an internationally common program paid by all these useless until now taxes, and distributing helium 3 all over the world for free. The impact will be enormous. Beating poverty, resource based economy, change of the current hypocritical regime, class equalization and so much more will be closer than ever before.

This is going to lift space exploration to maximum for all of us finally united (hope NOT in a global dictatorship), there is no law saying we can’t do both helping our situation and do scientific research. Just improving the first one is a way to do better with the other. Everything has to do with how much we leave corruption and profit lust to interfere.
