reposting... this got off topic, people might think its supposed to be about the chemistry of Helium.

Sounds interesting. Make a document with history, affiliations, tags, ect and we'll see how it looks. I look forward to seeing what it's all about.

Heh, you guys all sound happy because of your squeaky Helium filled voices!

Hang on a minute - you say you mine Helium?

You....mine....SOLID...Helium?!

There are just frozen chunks of the stuff floating around in space then?

I am sorry, I am going to have to ask the Developers for a

***REALITY CHECK***

Apart from the complete absence of physics or chemistry in this concept - why cant other places 'mine' gas from their nebulae?

I can think of at least one group that wouldn't mind doing it!

No, the nebulae is freezing cold, temperatures have reached as low as 200 Kelvin. (-99.67 Fahrenheit)

The helium freezes into rocks. (Helium is an element on the Periodic Table, and therefore can be considered a MINERAL when it is solidified in pure/consistently composed form.

Our low power laser devices (mining lasers) melt the minerals, and our tractor beams are specially designed to filter the gas out of the air, and then it is Flash-Frozen into one HUGE chunk to be moved into the hauler cargo pods.

they then take it to Philadelphia Station and thaw it and huck it into the Fusion Heat-Forge, which keeps the station running at survivable temperatures.

(Pennsylvania isn't known for having a sun warm enough to heat Places that far away)

Its also the sun's fault that we can't get Hydrogen to fuse into Helium instead (would be easier, more cost effective, and generate more heat)
Less compression needed to mash Hydrogens together... but the sun already did all that work.

However...
Philadelphia Station is good at making Beryllium (All those Helium atoms being mashed together, creating atoms with 4 Protons)

Which can be used for light construction frames or something...

Made a change to the post up there,
we are not going to stick with "Happy Mining inc."
instead we'll go with "Heavy Mining Industries"
A much, MUCH better sounding name, in every way imaginable,
especially considering mining is NOT a happy job if you spend any time really thinking about it...

(And it still uses the same tag, which I spent 2M putting onto my secondary investor's Mining Ship)

I trust you understand that Helium does not become a solid until the temperature is about 2 degrees Kelvin? Even if it were to get that cold, it would also need to be quite heavily pressurized, which I don't think space, being a vacuum and all, could manage. I know Sirius is a strange place, but it doesn't totally bend the laws of nature (Usually). However, a decent idea nonetheless, I'm sure we at Kruger Minerals would sell you rights to mine diamonds in Dresden.
