What is Helium-3 and could we get it from the moon?

Helium-3 is a rare and highly valued isotope with a rapidly increasing demand. As a result, its cost is currently very high, making alternative sources highly desirable. To address this issue, plans are being made to extract Helium-3 from the moon, where it is abundant. Mining the moon for Helium-3 could potentially provide a more accessible and cost-effective source of this valuable resource.
