Actually, Moon has something better than gold and diamonds ;) It’s not in the core, however. And it’s not a solid body like gold or diamond. It is a helium isotope - He3, that came with the solar wind and got adsorbed in the porous rocks at the Moon’s surface. Several years ago a liter of gaseous He3 was worth over 5000$… Get it? LITER OF GAS. If you liquefy it you get one milliliter…
A mere droplet (that actually needs a temperature of -270 Celsius degrees to exist).

And still nobody wants to sell it!

He3 is used in neutron detectors at the airports, for some medical diagnostics, in low temperature science and could be used to produce INSANE amounts of energy through the nuclear fusion process. If we only had enough of it…

There are crazy plans to travel to the moon to extract He3 and bring it back here.
I doubt anybody would move their ass so far away for a couple of diamonds.

This is how reality beats even the most crazy dreams ;)
