Going to be some very expensive gas.

"Apollo samples typically showed helium-3 concentrations measured in parts per billion. That means enormous volumes of regolith must be processed to extract useful gas. The basic industrial recipe is straightforward on paper. "

They said movie. It was Moon (2009) directed by Duncan Jones and starring Sam Rockwell.

Amazing movie. I'm never watching it again.

rewatched it with the kiddos the other day. stands up well. rockwell's performance is underappreciated.

Rockwell is a great actor, can't recall any bad performances from him. He even managed to get some good performance as Hammer in the disaster named Iron Man 2.

I loved it too. And also had the same thought. It is atmospheric, a slow burn, captivating. In the end not much actually happened. So I am not compelled to see it again.

Sam R is one of several GOAT actors however.

No it was the remake of the Time Machine with Guy Pierce, mining on the moon destroyed its orbit and it breaks up.

No it was Seveneves, which was a book, and the moon just kind of blow up for some reason.

No, it was Iron Sky (2012), with the Swastika-shaped lunar base.

... Let's not give Elon any ideas.
