Hi,
An alpha particle of about 5 MeV will penetrate into solid matter about 10
microns.
Under the best of circumstances we may imagine a Solar flare generated He3 ion
having an energy of about 1 GeV, with
most having
LOL!
I was speaking in terms of access. We have Apollo's sister, Artemis; and,
hopefully, Starship.

Hi,
High energy He3 ions emitted by the Sun during solar flares may be converting
Ca in Moon rocks into Ti according to:-
Ca40 + He3 -> Ti43
Ti43 -> Sc43 -> Ca43 (decay reactions)
Ca43 + He3 -> Ti46
Numerous other reactions brought about by bombardment by high energy particles
are of course

I believe it is getting farther away, not closer. NASA says it is moving
away at 3.8 cm a year.

Then we should tap that "close" source directly - the moons' gravitational pull
( ie tidal energy) Maybe cheaper that hot fusion anyway
When the accountants get into the picture - the ever increasing costs of duel

Both true, but hardly practical, unless you have your reactor on the Moon. In
which case, it might be a useful power
source for a Lunar colony.
However the
The moon has lots of 3He and it gets closer every day.

That's why they also use a D+D reaction to produce the He3. What I missed in
the presentation was the fact that when you
fuse D+D you

Requires lots of helium-3 to become commercial
