    Yes, although I doubt subsea He3 mining will ever be a hit. Also, the
    sea is an even more hostile place than space - it is a very active
    chemical environment under high pressure, which requires more extreme
    protection than most space environments.

    Space is important because it is *space*. For resources, yes, go to the
    sea.
