My nuclear physics professors told me that fusion reactors will not be the hollowed solution people want it to be. It will make a large number of unwanted byproducts. Also, since high gravity isn’t present, it will be very difficult to hold the fusion mass in place for the process. Keep in mind that these fusion experiments do not involve much mass and that it takes a rather large laser to perform the ignition. It won’t be feasible to scale this up.
“It won’t be feasible to scale this up.”
That certainly seems to be the case for the last 50 years.
Even the Rooskies haven’t gotten close.
Still a fun idea though....
