@arstechnica Let's hope this will not be used as a precedent to argue for mining in space. We can barely keep them from digging up the deep sea, ain't no way that we have considered all the risk already when it comes to mining in space.

@arstechnica
Cost of party balloons about to sky-rocket?

Wouldn't it be cheaper to fly patients to the Moon and back to be medically scanned there than bring the 3He down here? LOL

Surely this insanely speculative BS is up for an prize?!

@arstechnica I’m just worried if they take too much of the helium out of the moon, how is it going to keep floating around the earth?
