i heard from a london based company CEO on TV saying," If u have money then u can buy any damn thing".
mind here that this perticular company [sorry im not remembering its name] literally fulfills any damn requests from hollywood celebs or any other billionaire, LITERALLY ANYTHING...!!!!
so m trying to say is if i have money then why cant i buy a plot on MOON..???
there r people to sell such sites & there r people to buy... so wotz the big deal!!!
these billionaires probably dont know how to spend their over-flowing money, so there r people who help these respected billionaires to spend..!!
now coming back to moon, US think-tanks/strategists have suggested the govt to claim the moon as their so-called-property.... WHY??????
coz moon consists of vast reserve of HELIUM-3. n US has planned to extract/mine as much helium as possible.... WHY?????
coz one can use it in thermo-nuclear reactors for electric power generation. Its is believed that after 50-70 years all our known sources of non-renewable energy will get over, so scientists believe that helium-3 will be the only other option to be used in specially designed thermo-nuclear reactors. and if any single country gets hold of it then it can literally rule the planet earth as rest of the countries will become consumers.
Fusion of Helium-3 with deuterium, an isotope of hydrogen, produces a proton and an alpha particle and releases vast amounts of energy. One kg of helium-3 fused with 0.67 kg of deuterium, generates about 19 mega-watt years of energy.
According to Prof Gerald Kulcinski, University of Wisconsin, a specialist in fusion reactors, helium-3 fusion with deuterium produces little residual radioactivity, whereas deuterium-tritium fusion releases 80 per cent of their energy in the form of neutrons. Helium-3 is thus a perfect, nonpolluting fuel. According to one estimate, 40 metric tons of helium-3 has the energy equivalence of all the power pumped in- to the US grid in 2005.
In 1988, Kulcinski estimated that solar wind deposited 1.1 million tons of helium-3 on the moon.
The amount of helium-3 available on earth is about 300 kg arising as a byproduct of the maintenance of nuclear weapons.
It could continue to produce about 15 kg annually. The road to the moon is not very crowded.
Guess what... Currently, USA, Russia, China, Europe, Japan and even our own beloved country India intend to explore the lunar landscape.
India has scheduled for launching its first mission to the moon (Chandrayaan-1) by 2007-2008.
So that was the moon story
oops... i strayed away from the main topic... lol
