It’s not that difficult. You can mine it from the surface of the moon, or produce it via Tritium decay.

Or do D-D fusion, which produces half tritium and half He3 directly. That's what Helion plans to do.

Ha! One of those "only on HN" comments. What would qualify as "difficult"? Mining it on Pluto?

Not criticizing though. I'm glad there are people out there who aren't deterred by these sorts of challenges.

Watching MOON like it's a documentary.
