I saw the show .... I think that if we can mine helium 3 there to produce cleaner energy then I can't see why it would be a bad thing. There is no atmosphere there to pollute, we haven't found any form of life whose ecosystem we would be impacting, etc.
If we do find some form of life on the moon buried in the rocks, etc, that might change my opinion a bit, though we mine the heck out of the Earth where life is abundant every single day. Perhaps it would still be better to mine several tonnes of rock on the moon for the helium 3 instead of the equivalent hundreds of thousands of tonnes of coal, etc, here needed to provide the same amount of energy?
