Harvesting resources from space to benefit humankind.
This is one of the final steps before astronauts go to the Moon for the first time in 50 years!

Got plans on February 2?
Cancel them and join Interluners and the rest of the world to watch the live stream of the Artemis II “wet” dress rehearsal.
NASA will fully fuel the 322-foot Space Launch System (SLS) and run the launch sequence to just before liftoff.
And even though the launch is happening 3K+ miles away from the PNW, Alan highlights the extensive role that local companies are playing in building the modern lunar economy.

We’re catching up on our reading, but ICYMI, @b0yle.bsky.social’s latest piece in @geekwire.com throws another log on the fire of excitement about the February Artemis launch. 🚀

Read our blog post on “Seven Myths About Helium-3:” www.interlune.space/blog/seven-m...
#Helium3 #SpaceResources #LunarEconomy #ScienceCommunication
Myths aren’t limited to Bigfoot and goldfish having short memories; there are plenty of misconceptions about scientific topics as well!
We debunked seven misconceptions we hear about helium-3—and we got mythbuster extraordinaire @karibyron.bsky.social to give us her take.
We encourage everyone to read the book, of course, but the Interlune origin story is a great starting point! www.interlune.space/blog/interlu...
#DidYouKnow #TheReturnToTheMoon #LunarEconomy #SpaceResources #Apollo
Harrison “Jack” Schmitt wrote “Return to the Moon” in 2006, laying out a clear-eyed case for why lunar resources matter, how they could be developed responsibly, and what it would take to make a sustained lunar economy viable.

📚Did you know?
One of the earliest business cases for returning to the Moon was written by an Apollo astronaut—who also happens to be executive chairman of Interlune.

@b0yle.bsky.social of @geekwire.com Wire delivered a banger on New Year’s Eve with his Year in Space story. It never ceases to amaze us how much jaw-dropping innovation is happening right here in the PNW.

Happy holidays to all, as the entire space community reflects on the lessons of this important anniversary. Let’s get to work!
By decoupling that problem from the Lunar Module, NASA avoided stalling progress and ultimately kept the promise to land on the Moon “by the end of the decade.”
This was a masterclass in being firm on the goal but flexible on the means to achieve it.
The result was a historic Apollo milestone that cemented America's lead in the first Moon race and led to a successful Moon landing only 7 months later during Apollo 11.
21.12.2025 18:56 — 👍 0 🔁 0 💬 1 📌 0Rather than delay the mission, NASA rethought its approach, accelerating plans to conduct the first lunar orbit mission from Apollo 10 to Apollo 8.
21.12.2025 18:56 — 👍 0 🔁 0 💬 1 📌 0The reason for this change? Delays in the Lunar Module, which was originally slated to be tested in Earth orbit on Apollo 8, meant that only the Command Module would be available.
21.12.2025 18:56 — 👍 0 🔁 0 💬 1 📌 0What many people forget, however, is that the initial plan for Apollo 8 was much less dramatic—it was supposed to orbit Earth. The decision to make Apollo 8 the first human lunar mission, made just four months before launch, is now considered one of the boldest in NASA’s history.

Apollo 8 launched 57 years ago today, carrying the first humans to leave Earth orbit, see the far side of the Moon, and witness the Earth rising over the Moon's horizon.

Let's get to work!
Interlune is proud to be leading U.S. innovation to extract and commercialize natural resources, including helium-3, from space.

Congratulations to Jared Isaacman on confirmation as NASA Administrator. He embodies the bold vision, technical credibility, and focus needed to expand America's reach in space.

Jack’s vision helped inspire Interlune’s founding and continues to shape our work to bring helium-3 back to Earth for quantum computing, advanced medical imaging, national security, clean energy, and more.
11.12.2025 16:32 — 👍 1 🔁 0 💬 1 📌 0The Apollo mission spent more than 12 days on the lunar surface and broke many records related to human spaceflight.
Today, we honor Jack, Apollo 17, and the scientific thread that connects that mission to our work today.
