Steven Kwast , a retired U.S. Air Force Lieutenant General and the CEO of SpaceBilt , claimed China has already started mining helium-3 from the moon.

NASA estimates that a million tons of the gas helium is on the moon and could provide nuclear energy in a fusion reactor.

If China monopolizes the element, they could have enough power to crack any computer code.
