which begs me to ask the question: why all the sudden interest in the moon again lately? i mean really? this isn’t the 1950′s anymore, we know it’s not made of cheese. did we find some crazy shit there that every nation wants a piece of? yes, actually this article states that an objective of the mission is to detect a rare isotope, helium 3, which could be a promising energy source (and also powers nuclear fusion). and i bet there’s some more shit that’s up there that the public doesn’t know about.
