To answer your question I am not sure what would happen - no one is. However, the Moon is critically important for stabilising the tilt of the Earth. Mining tonnes of rock would reduce the Moon's mass. Without the Moon the Earth would severely wobble on its axis and the climate would become very unstable. The latest theory, backed up by computer-aided reconstructions, is that the Moon is responsible for both creating and persevering life on Earth. Interfering with the Moon without knowing the consequences could be lethal for life on Earth (worst-case scenario!). Hi Steve, thanks for your comment, it is greatly appreciated.

To be honest, I hadn't heard of the idea to mine the moon for helium-3. Your post on that was very interesting. What exactly do you think would happen if we mined the helium-3 from the moon? Obviously it doesn't make sense at this point for logistical reasons, but if we could work those out, what effect would it have on life on earth? Wow…awesome stuff.
