Thanks to NASAWatch for the link.

A good article, but I always felt that the helium 3 think was pure hype. We can't even get a deuterium-tritium fusion reaction to break even, and helium 3, although a cleaner reaction, is much harder to fuse.

I heartily agree with his opinions on fission rockets.
