Henry, I have seen estimates on how much harder DD is compared to DT,
but I can't find an estimate for DHe3. It should be worse. Have any
idea?
I also kind of suspect that if you need to heat the top couple of
meters of regolith to 600 C to get out a few bbp of He3 it is an
energy losing business.
But I have not worked the numbers.
