#NASA has awarded Seattle-based #Interlune $6.9 million to develop a payload suite that can cook gases out of #moon dirt and look for traces of potentially valuable #hydrogen and #helium3. The project fits into Interlune's grand plan to sell lunar helium-3 for earthly applications. https://www.geekwire.com/2026/interlune-nasa-contract-extract-helium-3-hydrogen-moon/ #Space #Regolith
