From Homer Hickam, who is on the board of advisors of Golden Spike:"If you read Back to the Moon...I won't say more."Back to the Moon was his science fiction novel about a commercial group that "borrows" NASA hardware and flies a manned mission to the lunar surface to retrieve regolith to extract He3 for nuclear fusion power generation.
Helium-3? Why?

What is about Helium-3 for Fusion Research? As much as i know Scientists would love to have more Helium3 but its just too hard to get. Maybe they can earn some money with low amounts for research first while testing the mining hardware. If you combine that with tourists that do research on the moon on behalf of the scientific community maybe it pays off(or at least pays the bills).
