Shooting for the moon and landing on Helium 3



Today we had Tai-sik Lee, a civil engineer, on our show to talk about his collaboration with NASA to build a shelter and highway on the moon. This project will be completed by 2020 for the purpose of importing helium 3 to earth. The process of transporting helium 3 is projected to be completed by 2025. Helium 3 will be used as an alternative source of energy. Imagine how that is going to change the world. Very cool, eh?

  1. Wow that's intense. This reminds me of a speaker we had for Institute. He was a member who worked at NASA and he talked about how one of the biggest reasons for studying the universe is to help accommodate the needs for our planet. That kind of threw me off, but kind of pacified the whole global-warming-end-of-the-world fear in me. haha
