And how bout that religion that kills...ah worships under the name of their pedophile moon god. Now that would involve them in NASA and our rocket ships would quickly become giant EIDs.

We will in the not to distant future achieve it though and it will take that long to build the infrastructure to mine it on the moon. Plus there are other uses for it I’m sure. From what I have read the fusion reaction would produce electrons directly and no harmful radiation. I’d rather we were spending the money we have sunk into solar and wind to try and achieve HE3 fusion. Think about it. If we are going to have fusion power in 20-30 years solar and wind will be so obsolete that no one will want them. Why when one clean reactor could replace hundreds of square miles of wind turbines. I say we burn coal and oil like it’s going out of style. Drill as much as we can because in hopefully 30 years we will have the ultimate power source and the stronger our economy is the faster we will get to reliable fusion.

Thanks Hojczyk, but there's no use for Helium-3, because there's no controlled fusion. Perhaps, someday, there will be, but there's literallly nothing in the foreseeable future, and this has been worked on using a number of approaches over the past 60+ years.

String Theory Ping, but without one of the usual logos (I would have used the phony periodic table, if that helps).

Does that “sun in a bottle” book mention the muonium fusion scam too?

Rush Holt, US Rep (D-NJ): “From 1989 until his successful congressional campaign in 1998, Holt was the Assistant Director of the Princeton Plasma Physics Laboratory at Princeton University, the University’s largest research facility and the largest center for energy research in New Jersey.”

It seems that Mr. Holt was in the middle of the Big Fusion Con Job. For it is almost certainly a huge con job of science.

Nations and private companies are racing to be the first to scout the moon for Helium 3, a rare gas which could make almost unlimited, clean fusion energy a reality.

There was actually a recent SciFi film that dealt with this subject. The movie was Moon. Click on the image to go to the IMDb review.



Be forewarned the trailers have spoilers in them. This was a very low budget film that was a sleeper. My Wife does not like SciFi, but she found this film immensely interesting.

If you can get a copy it is very much worth the watch (a couple of times). The plot line is haunting.

I think I saw a topic go by (I’m doing a topic save right now, first one since the 17th) about a DeLorean electric car.

Velcro is the brand name of the first commercially marketed fabric hook-and-loop fastener,[1] invented in 1948 by the Swiss electrical engineer George de Mestral. De Mestral patented Velcro in 1955, subsequently refining and developing its practical manufacture until its commercial introduction in the late 1950s

It’s my understanding that the idea for Velcro came from a type of weed seed that sticks to clothing or fur.

Velcro?hmm...yes....it was brought to earth, at Carbon Creek PA, in 1957 aboard a Vulcan spacecraft and the patent sold to earth investers by ‘Mestral’, T’pols great grandmother.

Live long and prosper.

oooops it was T’mir who was T’pol’s forebear. Mestril was a crewman on the Vulcan ship, who stayed on earth after the rest were rescued.
