Horizon Moon for Sale

fter 40 years, man is preparing to return to the Moon. But this time
the astronauts won't just land on the Moon - they plan to stay.

From his office in Nevada, Dennis Hope has spawned a multi-million
dollar business selling lunar real estate.

But scientists believe the real prize is trapped in the Moon's rocks.
It contains large deposits of an extremely rare gas called Helium-3.
Could Helium-3 be mined and used as a new source of almost
inexhaustible, clean and pollution-free energy on Earth? Whoever
succeeds in transporting Helium-3 back to Earth could solve the
world's energy crisis.
