Absolutely gut busting paragraph from the end if the article

The country that controls the source of energy that keeps technological civilization running will control the Earth. If China becomes that country, considering its human rights record and imperial foreign policy, history will take a dark turn. Therefore, the United States and the countries that have signed the Artemis Accords must acquire control of lunar helium-3 and develop the technology to use it as a source of fusion energy. Thus, the Artemis program will ensure the continuance of prosperity and human freedom on the Earth.

    isn't there enough helium-3 on the moon to kill god. do they think china is going to fortify the moon like a colony?

    I hate to set the lathe in motion, but surely that's projection?

      It's all projection.

      isn’t there enough helium-3 on the moon to kill god?

      Yes, but actually no. The moon has high concentrations of He3 the same way a Boomer's brain has high concentrations of lead. High enough to detect, but diffused all throughout and barely enough there to call it an "ore" in the first place.

      We cant even pull off Deuterium/Tritium fusion for more than a few fractions of a second, but yeah, im sure this even harder, unobtainium-filled pathway is the way forward.

      On that note, I'm selling Boron-11 futures if you know any hogs with disposable income.
