Nobody has successfully created a sustainable fusion reaction that returns more energy that's put into it, so there's no demand for Helium 3. Until fusion becomes realistic - and it's been 30 years away for like 50 years - there's no need for Helium 3.

There are only a few researchers on Earth who need Helium 3 right now.

In my opinion, the only purpose for going to the Moon is that it's not the Earth, and will help teach us how to live in space. That's enormously important, and people underemphasize how critical this education will be on our path to colonize the solar system.
