Mining Helium 3 On the Moon

Helium3 is a very rare gas with the potential to fuel clean nuclear fusion power plants. However, one of the problems is that the nearest supply of helium3 is on the Moon. This video by Christopher Barnatt discusses the nuclear physics, space exploration and global politics that may be involved in mining the Moon for helium3. You can watch my updated Mining the Moon video here: More information can be found in the Helium3 Power Fact File on All visuals were produced for this video using LightWave and After Effects.
