The Dark Side of the Moon
Imagine a substance that costs twenty million dollars per kilogram. It is almost never found on Earth, but it is abundantly scattered across the surface of the Moon. It is capable of cooling quantum computers to temperatures close to absolute zero, and perhaps someday will become fuel for clean thermonuclear energy. This is not the plot of a science fiction novel. This is helium-3 — a rare isotope that has today found itself at the center of a new space race.
