Scottish Academic: Mining the Moon For Helium 3 Is Evil

Posted by samzenpus on from the hold-the-cheese dept.

In a recent paper he suggested that it should not be allowed for a number of reasons which include environmental objections, his belief that the moon is a cultural artifact, and that too much access to energy would be bad for the human race."
