@kara I was worried about us running out back then. Thank you, btw
Permit me to suggest that this dispute could be worked into the story somehow? It might be in the villain's interest, for example, to gin up another scare about a helium shortage. Perhaps he is canny enough not to conceal his interest in helium mining on Jupiter, but pretends for a time that his "scientific mission" is taking only a subordinate interest in investigating the possibility of setting up an experimental mining operation when, in fact, his plans are far more comprehensive. @kara @Filene
@Filene Nope, it's natural gas. The looming possibility of a helium shortage was all over the popular scientific press a few years ago but since then new underground reservoirs have been found (e.g. https://www.newscientist.com/article/2095196-huge-newfound-deposit-of-helium-will-keep-mri-scanners-running/) and there's some dispute over how limited our supply really is. This is one of the things I'd have to research.
