Broken link.

I think I am also against harvesting unicorn horns for rainbow juice.

What a bizarre argument - the practical argument against Lunar He3 are obvious, but protecting the landscape of a lifeless rock ball?

The dust just hasn't been the same, since we started mining.

I keep hearing about lunar Helium-3 around here, and I always feel like I'm missing the joke. I don't suppose anyone could explain to me first what the whole fascination with Helium-3 is all about, and then explain to me why it's stupid?

Mining the Moon is dangerous. Just ask Steve Austin. He had to go to the Moon to stop a lunar mining expedition from destroying Earth. (As seen in the Six Million Dollar Man episodes "Dark Side of the Moon, Part One and Two" which feature a scientist who sounds bit like today's He3 fanboys.)
