Today’s @semafor.com piece by Rachyl Jones captures a reality that national security and advanced computing leaders are already planning for: The future runs cold. ❄️
All the hottest tech needs to be so, so cold
Startup Interlune has signed $500 million in contracts to supply helium-3 gas to help keep AI and quantum computing devices running cold. Their next helium search is in space.

The current market price for helium-3 is $20 million per kilogram.
With uses such as superconducting quantum computing, weapons detection in national security, medical imaging, and developing clean fusion energy, we’re keeping an eye on it. 👀

Wait for it… Actually, don’t.
For decades, our only supply of helium-3 has come through the decay of tritium, a radioactive hydrogen isotope with a 12-year half-life.

Don’t call it a comeback
It’s been more than 50 years since humans last left bootprints on the Moon. And yes, we need to go back. Specifically, the U.S. is going back, but as @reuters.com David Doyle reports, today’s NASA Artemis Program has a commercial backbone.
