Existing Commercial Potential for Helium-3 from Luna

Seasons greetings,

I posted some ideas on lunarpedia about Existing Commercial Potential
for Helium-3 from Luna.

The Moon is an abundant source of He3. He3 has a market value, even
though He3 fusion is not yet demonstrated. It might be worth
collecting He3 from the Moon today simply to sell into the existing
terrestrial market.

Current market price for He3 is about $46,500 per troy ounce
($1500/gram, $1.5M/kg), more than 120 times the value of gold and
over eight times the value of Rhodium.

Question: can we reduce the cost of recovering He3 from the lunar
surface to that level, e.g. $1500 per gram? What would be the capital
cost of setting up a small He3 production facility on Luna?

See this web link for more detailed discussion.
