Working the system...

Academics love to work the system, particularly when they already know the answer.
I read http://www.tgdaily.com/space-features/65458-helium-found-in-moons-atmosphere and this quote:

"The question now becomes, does the helium originate from inside the moon, for example, due to radioactive decay in rocks, or from an exterior source, such as the solar wind?" says Dr Alan Stern, LAMP principal investigator.

...pretty much sums it up. The only viable reason to go to the moon economically is to retrieve He-3, and we know that the moon has abundant supplies of helium. Here's to you for answering the answered questions Dr. Alan Stern.
