Hunter,

That sounds like a quote for the caption contest--get an image.

yeah, I am not so optimistic. Since there is no atmosphere on the moon, there is only a finite amount of ice that can be harvested. Once that is gone, we are back to square one.

There is however more frozen helium than you can shake a stick at. I remember reading a plan from a few years ago for harvesting it, use sunshine to liberate it from rock, use the shade to refreeze it again before shipping it home.
