A group of Chinese scientists is proposing a project involving a magnetic launch system to transport helium-3 from the Moon back to Earth, highlighting economic ambitions.
The planned magnetic launch system aims to use a massive rotating arm to launch materials into space, targeting helium-3, crucial for future nuclear fusion energy.
As the Moon becomes a target for mineral extraction, an emerging lunar economy could result, driven by both established governments and private startups.
The initiatives on the Moon are not only about resources; they signify a new geopolitical competition between China and the United States in space exploration.
