US startup Interlune aims to launch helium-3 mining on the Moon by 2030

Helium-3 is “delivered” to the Moon by solar wind, where it is stored in the soil – lunar regolith. Unfortunately, this is impossible on Earth because helium-3 is blocked by the magnetosphere as it approaches the Moon. Interlune plans to extract it on an industrial scale from the lunar soil and then deliver it to Earth.
