Is xenon actually that rare? I thought it’s always used whenever something needs an ultra stable environment like enclosed data centers and sealed storage/vaults.
Yeah, compared to other noble gases, it’s pretty rare, and we don’t produce very much. If I recall correctly, the 900 kg loaded on the Psyche spacecraft last year represented about 10% of the world production.
