Speaking of Helium-3...

...Since it's unlikely that Helium-3 [either lunar source; or Earth source] will ever end up as
a commercially viable fuel for fusion power-reactors on Earth, could Helium-3 possibly end up being used as fuel for fusion-propelled interstellar spaceprobes in the next 100-200 years instead?
