Why does NO ONE goes back to the Moon?

More interesting is why did they NOT go back?

Helium-3 (He3) is gas that has the potential to be used as a fuel in future nuclear fusion power plants. There is very little Helium-3 available on the Earth.

Unlike Earth, which is protected by its magnetic field, the Moon has been bombarded with large quantities of Helium-3 by the solar wind. Helium-3 could provide safer nuclear energy in a fusion reactor, since it is not radioactive and would not produce dangerous waste products.

The Moon is full on Helium-3. An estimate is that 25 tons of Helium-3 could power the United States for an entire year. Helium-3 can provide industrial and household electricity for a whole year, not only household.

How about this for a conspiracy.

One manned launch would cost around 140 billion US. That gets you a short stay where you can take some photos and bring back a handful of rocks.

We have already done that so in today's world no politician' is going to fund such a pointless mission that achieves zero outcome while there are homeless people, trillions in debt, war etc.

Smarter and cheaper to send probes and robots and leave them there to die after they radio back data.


You are not very educated are you bro.

Yeah like I said a robot not a pointless human landing.

How about this for a conspiracy.

from wika
The top several meters of the surface of the Moon is relatively rich in 3He[3] on the order of 0.01 parts per million by weight,[4] but mining this resource and returning it to Earth would be relatively difficult and expensive. 3He could in principle be recovered from the atmospheres of the gas giant planets, Jupiter, Saturn, Neptune and Uranus, but this would be even more challenging. The amount of fuel needed for large-scale applications can also be put in terms of total consumption: according to the US Energy Information Administration, "Electricity consumption by 107 million U.S. households in 2001 totaled 1,140 billion kW·h" (1.14×1015 W·h). Again assuming 100% conversion efficiency, 6.7 tonnes per year of helium-3 would be required for that segment of the energy demand of the United States, 15 to 20 tonnes per year given a more realistic end-to-end conversion efficiency. Extracting that amount of pure helium-3 would entail processing 2 billion tonnes of lunar material per year, even assuming a recovery rate of 100%.

1 part per 10 million is pretty scarce but the pic is really pretty Smiley

No. If you should've learnt one thing from history—it's that people want to own everything. Land, minerals, oil, everything. So they'll exploit everything.

Yeah but mars is the next big thing in theory - might not happen - its still the next frontier
