    Based on some evidence the big dogs of old school organized crime
    decided instead of fighting the government they could puppeteer the
    government and that has been going on for decades in multiple nations
    that "falsely believe that they are free".

    Watch the film "Hacking Democracy"

    None are so hopelessly enslaved, as those who falsely believe they are free. The truth has been kept from the depth of their minds by masters who rule them with lies. They feed them on falsehoods till wrong looks like right in their eyes.

    In 2002, Wired Magazine questioned whether TrustE could be trusted, noting that rather than revoking privacy seals for violations, "Truste officials often seemed to be covering for their clients".[23]
    In 2008, a Galexia Consulting study reported that TrustE had terminated only one customer for non-compliance in the previous eleven years, despite a number of significant privacy violations which had received press coverage. "The most significant criticism of trustmarks is that in practice they have proved to be virtually worthless in the face of major privacy breaches. Their privacy standards are low to begin with, but even these rules are simply not enforced against large, paying members."[24]

    As HE3 is the primary target and the solar wind replaces it, we'd have

    95% of the material of the moon is not something they want to ship back to earth.

    Its a very small percentage, and based on research its likely mostly HE3 to make
    it worthwhile, and it is replenished by the solar wind.

    They might mine some mundane materials there to make a few starships or
    a La Grange point 5 space station, but I think greed is usually the motivating factor
    as the military industrial complex has shown all too well.

    HE3 for fusion, a prototype reactor is running at University of Wisconsin.

    The equivalent of one shuttle load would power the entire planet for about 1 year.

    The solar wind puts more HE3 back in the regolith over time.

    If the mining is done by robots similar to pathfinder, a mag coil mass driver
    can fling it back to earth.

    The mag coil mass driver flinging material back to earth is an old NASA plan.

    it could make ocean parachute landing like the Apollo missions did.

    China has some rare earths that are a bit more concentrated in their borders.

    I am pretty sure the HE3 is the #1 reason the moon is about to be mined.

    I think it should be saved to power starships to the other moons, a
    permanent space station at La Grange point 5, and star ships to
    head to the other moons in the solar system, and setup space stations
    there as well.

    Honestly thou it is much more cost efficient if robots do all the space
    exploration as humans need alot more to function in space.

    We also have bone issues in long space travel, etc etc...
