Interlune plans to mine helium-3 on the moon, as just 25 tonnes of this rare isotope could power the US for a year, but Earth's limited helium resources won't meet energy demands. The company has raised $15 million to extract helium-3 from the moon and bring it to Earth, aiming to address the energy needs through space exploration.
