Scientific paper

A scenario is proposed where thermonuclear fuel (He-3 for use in D-T fusion reactors) would be obtained from the moon and transported back to earth. This energy scheme would require the building of fusion plants on earth; if enough plants are built, this scheme would go a long way toward meeting the planet's energy needs. It is suggested that this scheme would be economically justified if the total cost of a ton of lunar He-3 does not exceed one-billion dollars.
