Earth. There’s about three million of tons of it on the Moon

And?

You mentioned Europa will globalists start calling for moon warming on a moon that maybe in 10k years it's been terra formed for possible limited living?

This the problem with taxpayer funded expeditions. They're only limited by the funds they can suck from us.

I'm fine here on earth. Let them spend your money.

Do you really need someone to explain to you the obvious strategical advantage and necessity of getting rare materials from space back to earth? There's a finite amount of the resources needed for the entire world in the tech age.

Not to mention that if we don't, the Chinese and Russians will, which puts the US behind or further behind than they already are.

The space shuttle could carry an entire payload of about 65k lbs.

So let's say it could bring back 40k lbs and that's being very generous. That's 136k trips.

Now, explain it to me, Peter Pan.

Over a 10 year period that would be 37 trips a day.

37 -74 sahuttles and 74 - 154 crews.

Edit

You'd have to have a shuttle landing every 39 minutes to get OM's 13 mil tons back.

3 days there 1 day to load 3 days back

Counting maintenance let's say 1.5 shuttles for that schedule that's 387 shuttles to extract the H3 double those crews 774 crews.

Have you guys never ran a business or schedule?

There is not a good man among you.

First, the entire premise of the rapidly reusable rockets Elon is creating is to do thousands of launches a year, including a moon base where ships can refuel.

Second, the transport ships would almost assuredly be unmanned.

Third, what is the rush to finish bringing every ounce of Helium-3 back to earth within 10 years?

This is an emergency and we need to be a multiplanet and quite frankly multisystem species as quickly as possible.

Again

Tell me a single place we can go?

Europa? That's a terra formed moon of Saturn in 1k's of years?
