Process it on the moon with He3 processing plant before shipping it back to Earth.

After processing you're still left with tons of gaseous He3 that you might want to transport to Earth, in the example 40 tons of it. To transport it you would liquefy it at nearly zero degrees Kelvin and you would then have to store it into dewar flasks to keep it cold.
Perhaps you would do better to generate the energy on the Moon and send it as radio waves to antennae parks in the Gobi desert and the Sahara being careful not to boil overflying birds.

That will work. As a matter of fact why not turn it the energy into lasers to send it to Earth as a recoverable electricity or boiling water into steam to spin the generators.

Using lasers to boil water on Earth is a particularly inefficient way to transport energy. Better use micro waves to antennae.

Upppps ... I did not know that it progressed so far !!!

I read somewhere earlier that Russia is going to propose at the next BRICS meeting a joint space station initially with Russian, China, and India.

Is that new Long March 5 rocket family to be launched from Wenchang Satellite Launch Center?

 

[Deino]

Yes ... ! But launch is only planned for 2016.

Is that new Long March 5 rocket family to be launched from Wenchang Satellite Launch Center?

That's the Long March 7, or CZ-7, a medium payload launcher that uses the same technology as the new family of launchers that also include the CZ-5 and CZ-6.

 

[Deino]

Yes, I'm sorry, the CZ-5 is even larger !
