Black Moon Energy endeavors to perform lunar exploration and discovery, to build the infrastructure for helium-3 collection, partial purification, and return to Earth. This may sound like a daunting effort. While it is not without complexity, the required spaceflight technologies already exist and have been demonstrated many times over by prior lunar and other missions.
