If what your saying is right then shouldn't we (one day) be able to manufacture our own nanotubes with similar properties to these "buckyballs" and harvest from space and not necessarily require to mine from the moon?

mmmm, i was thinking along the same line, why spend the trillions of dollars required to set up a full mining and refining 0peration on the moon, when it would be far cheaper (most likely) to invent (or implement) some kind of collection device in space? that would be a hell of alot smarter, especially if this He3 is indeed contained within the solar winds!
of course the size of your collector would need to be massive!
