   Nice juxtaposition as Moonbat was first used by Robert Heinlein in his short story "Space Jockey" it was the name of the spaceship that shuttled to and from the moon. He was one of my favorite authors in High School way back in the Jurassic period.

You don't have to be old to love Heinlein.

Let's see if I understand this correctly:  Someone wants to spend billions of dollars to go the moon to harvest tons of Helium-3 that is just lying around after millenia of being spewed out from the sun in the solar wind.  Do we have proof or is this all just theoretical?  Did the astronauts bring back samples to verify the purity of this helium?

Yes

Mining The Moon

A sample of soil from the rim of Camelot crater slid from my scoop into a Teflon bag to begin its trip to Earth with the crew of Apollo 17. Little did I know at the time, on Dec. 13, 1972, that sample 75501, along with samples from Apollo 11 and other missions, would provide the best reason to return to the moon in the 21st century. That realization would come 13 years later. In 1985, young engineers at the University of Wisconsin discovered that lunar soil contained significant quantities of a remarkable form of helium. Known as helium-3, it is a lightweight isotope of the familiar gas that fills birthday balloons.

That was my understanding, too.  I was only commenting on the cost versus return on investment for the venture.
