If an Artemis crew were stranded on the Moon, they should just eat the helium-3 devoutly believed to exist there in vast piles and drifts.

Interlune brings in more cash to get set for moon mining
Seattle-based Interlune is raising additional investment to support its campaign to identify and extract resources on the moon that can be brought back to Earth, starting with helium-3.
The fundraising effort came to light in a document filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission this week.

Helium-3 Deal Marks First Major Purchase of Lunar Resources for Quantum Computing
While we have yet to mine on the moon, companies are already making major investments in its potential resources. Finnish tech firm Bluefors, known for making ultracold refrigerator systems crucial for quantum computing, has made a groundbreaking purchase of tens of thousands of liters of Helium-3, ...

According to the company’s plans, multiple lunar missions are scheduled this decade, backed by #contracts with #US #government agencies. In addition to #Helium3 Interlune intends to extract #RareEarths, industrial #metals, & #water from the #Moon, laying the foundation for a long-term in-#space economy.
…#Interlune is one of the 1st companies aiming to #commercialize #Helium3 resources from the #Moon. Its #harvesting #technology is described as lighter, smaller, & more energy-efficient than rival concepts, cutting costs for both transportation & lunar operation. The company is also developing Earth-based systems to separate helium-3 from terrestrial gas supplies, which it says will provide an interim source before full lunar operations begin.
The agreement marks one of the first commercial commitments to secure #Helium3 a scarce isotope on Earth but present in significant quantities on the #Moon. According to Interlune, helium-3 was deposited on the lunar surface by the solar wind & first identified in Apollo-era samples. The #UK government release on the deal described helium-3 as a critical material for #quantum #computers & one of the most valuable substances that can be transported from #space.
#Bluefors, the world’s leading maker of #cryogenic cooling systems for #quantum #technology, has signed an agreement to purchase up to 10,000 liters of #Helium3 annually from #Interlune, a #US company developing #space-based resource extraction. The deliveries are scheduled from 2028 through 2037, according to an Interlune news release.

#Bluefors has agreed to purchase up to 10,000 liters of #Helium3 annually from #Interlune 2028–2037 to secure supply for #quantum #technology.
Helium-3 is extremely scarce on Earth but abundant on the #Moon, where Interlune plans to harvest it using lightweight, energy-efficient lunar extraction systems.
The deal aims to stabilize the #QuantumComputing supply chain as demand for helium-3 rises with the growth of dilution refrigerators & large-scale quantum computers.
