Helium-3 is made under extreme pressure and extreme heat. It was made when the moon ripped out of the Earth and flew into orbit around it, and continues to be made by solar winds down countless millions of years. Scientists can make only minuscule amounts, at a cost of billions of dollars, in the accelerator at Cern. Getting it from the moon – where it would be ‘mined’ from the dust and then heated to release the gas itself – would not be wildly expensive, nor beyond our ability. Helium-3 could supply all of the Earth’s energy needs way into the future by using fusion, which is both clean and safe.

Additional quotes by Richard Branson

The second was that I could also clearly see a vision of the future and answer many people’s questions: why does space really matter; and why have you got involved in it? Many people seemed to think that Virgin Galactic was some kind of challenge, a personal plaything, albeit an enormously expensive one. The truth is that space is the future of mankind. Everybody, from Dr Tim Hansen at NASA’s Goddard Institute, who is one of the fathers of space science, right the way through to Professor Stephen Hawking, the father of modern physics, agrees that better access to space and the utilisation of space is going to be crucial to the reorientation of the world’s industries in coping with climate change.
