Apollo's Geologist: Moon's Resources, Aliens & Lunar Base

0:00Harrison Schmidt, the only geologist to walk on the moon during Apollo 17 and 1972, just reflected on that last lunar landing. He and Gene Cernan explored the deep tourist litro valley, grabbing rock and soil samples to unlock the moon's origins, its tie to earth and even. Solar history. Schmidt pushed for the next generation to top those footprints. That mission wrapped up Apollo with smart sample hunts, building on prior flights. It highlighted titanium rich basalts like those in New Mexico, but loaded with resources. Key 1 is helium 3, rare on earth but plentiful up there, perfect for future tech. Helium 3 could spark clean nuclear fusion energy with zero waste, plus boosts in quantum computing and cancer treatments. Schmidt seized the moon as our go-to stockpile, turning space into an energy game changer, not just a race. A lunar base makes sense for geopolitical edge and Mars prep, though radiation needs fixing and fusion rockets for quicker trips, living their long term, doable, but challenges

1:03remain. He's pumped for Artemis 2's flyby and NASA's younger commercial fueled vibe. Schmidt stays open to aliens, plausible out there, though unlikely visitors, and he blast off again, maybe with his wife. Youth math education is key to keep this cosmic push rolling strong.
