Of course. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Helium-3

But in such tiny quantities that it is mostly ignored.

My understanding is that the Earth only small quantities of H3, not near enough to even consider mining but from what I've heard, there is a generous proportion of H3 under the moons surface. Matter of fact, I read in PM about a proposed mining station there and all the tools needed to mine H3. They even stated that they needed to mine on the far side of the moon so not to tamper with the reflect ability of the land locked side so not to interfere with migration.

What do you mean?
