That doesn't mean that they didn't have enough. The world being in the process of losing helium as a whole doesn't mean these researchers "ran out" of it. If they knew they needed it, they would have purchased it, so unless the world has run out of helium already then they didn't run out of it. You act like noone there could calculate exactly how much helium this uses per second and just buy x seconds worth of helium.
