On an earlier thread, it was stated that Lockheed-Martin intends to have a working prototype online by 2017.
IIRC, they said the same thing in 1958 in the UK where they were going to have a ZETA fusion reactor online in that year. It would be nice but until it delivers what it promises, I will remain a it skeptical. Don't get me wrong, I'm all for it, but from the 1940's onward, we always got "punk'd" when it came to atomic fusion.

It would be nice but until it delivers what it promises, I will remain a it skeptical. I hear ya, but this isn't some unknown start-up making this claim. These guys are home to the world famous Skunk Works, who built the SR-71 and the F-117 Blackbird (and lord only knows what else).
Their many innovations have powered our military's technical advantage for 70 years or more.
I feel your skepticism, but I don't take such a statement from folks with that kind of credibility lightly.
