[FPSPACE] the He3 urban legend

[Keith Gottschalk]

>As I mentioned earlier Chinese space leadership has stated two reasons
for 
>going to the Moon, He3 mining and ......

    When Dwayne Day was active on this email forum, he teased everyone
who repeated the He3 mantra:

  Where is the world's first thermonuclear fusion reactor? Please show
it to us? Why mine He3 before you've built your fusion reactor?

    I want to add a 2nd quesion onto Dwayne's:

   What wil ltime lapse be between achieving the world's first
sustainable fusion chain reaction using He3, before the same using
cheaper He2, then vastly cheaper H? None of the He3 advocates ever seem
willing to  recall how longer airliner range make Shannon and
Newfoundland airports lose business.
