When you ask the question whether $1B should be invested in a space telescope, a particle accelerator, or trying to reach another planet, fusion research fits right in as a 4th option.It think it's already been said on this thread. Fusion power has been 50 years away for the last 50 years. One huge hurdle, to my understanding, is that you need almost pure unobtainium to contain the reaction and harvest the heat.
Very true. We are actually working for one group that has attracted a couple of billion in working capital. My point was, sometimes the obstacles aren't where people think they are.When you ask the question whether $1B should be invested in a space telescope, a particle accelerator, or trying to reach another planet, fusion research fits right in as a 4th option.
I'm not sure about pointing out a hurdle. I'd say it's about increasing the "energy out/energy in" ratio, and I'm fine with people doing this slowly and carefully over many years or decades.
