Gerald Kulcinski, a researcher at the University of Wisconsin, wants to create a Helium 3-powered world. (Yes! Just like in Moon!) The problem: Kulcinski's research is caught in a bit of a Catch-22. There isn't much Helium 3 on Earth and it's really expensive. Soon, he won't be able to afford to do the research necessary to prove that Helium 3 fusion can work as an energy source. There's lots of Helium 3 on the Moon. (Yes! Just like in Moon!) But to prove that it's worth going to the Moon to get it, Kulcinski (you guessed it) needs to prove that Helium 3 fusion can work as an energy source. (Via Christopher Baker)
