Helium is one of the Noble gasses and exists as a gas in its natural state or as a liquid. Helium is the only element which cannot be frozen into a solid state.

An isotope of Helium, Helium-3 is also a gas and can be utilized as fuel in nuclear fusion. Helium-3 is found in rare quantities on the Earth, and estimated to exist in greater abundance on the Moon. However, Helium-3 would have to be extracted from minerals found on the moon rather than what you suggested "...mine minerals such as Helium from beneath the moon's crusty outer surface. "

At this point in time, the cost for such an endeavor is prohibitive.

What do you mean “And did they”?

Only a DAMN FOOL IDIOT thinks we had the ability to fake the moon landings with the technology we had at the time.

Even then, only an IDIOT would think we faked it in the first place.

Why did we never return there, when we have billions for wars and redundant infrastructure to please Labor Unions.

Because the Liberals got the microphone, and rallied under the banner of the 'po', howling the battle cry of "For the chilrennnnn!!" stripped away funding from outer space to feed the starving chilluns right here on Earf.

Well, you get what you pay for, and now we have more of those 'po' chilluns, and the fattest 'po' starving chilluns on the Earf, ever.

We would have been better off with more boxes of rocks.

Thanks lee. Extra to APoD.

> About 10 years after that, some people began asking questions...

The ‘questions’ actually started before the first landing — the dolt who dreamed up the “can’t survive the Van Allen Belt radiation” nonsense got fired from his job with one of the contractors who built part of the Apollo program hardware.

> You gotta be crazy or some kind of communist to question whether we did it.

While it does serve the interests of commies and other cultists to undermine people’s confidence in reality, I doubt that commies would have come up with this one.

Ballistics prove it was the hungover SS agent falling on his ass in the car behind them that did the third and fatal headshot. One in a billion chance, but the entry hole size and angle proves it wasn't harveys.

Why did you include "Moon-Truther" BS in your post?

That nonsense is the playground of cranks, dullards and attention whores.
