Helium-3

Helium-3 appears in Is the moon (and its resources) up for grabs? as one possible resource thought to be on the Moon. The episode says it could potentially provide safer nuclear energy, but treats the claim as a future possibility rather than a developed commercial pathway.

In the wiki, Helium-3 is useful as a concrete example of why Space Resource Extraction and Lunar Resource Governance matter. Even a speculative resource can shape diplomatic and infrastructure questions when countries are planning bases, safety zones, and long-term power systems.
