Hot dang! Fusion power is now only ten years away! Electricity too cheap to meter! I’ll be reading the Epstein files from my flying car by then!
To: Red Badger
I would to be given a tour of some of the more esoteric labs, physics and chemistry, to see exactly what they are doing. There are probably hundreds or thousands of experiments that are beyond what most of us think that science is up to.

Commercial fusion power has been 20 years in the future for the last 60 years. Maybe 75.

We are living in the future
I'll tell you how I know
I read it in the papers
Fifteen years ago
We're all driving rocket ships
And talking with our minds
And wearing turquoise jewelry
And standing in soup lines
We are standing in soup lines

Like, do fusion in your kitchen by using this one little trick.

All you need is some Deuterium and some Tritium.
Maybe on Amazon?.................

Sarnov sent spies to Farnsworth’s lab.

Yes, the good news is that the pilots were able to get it back on trajectory to Earth. The bad news is they only had 48 hours worth of air when they took off.

From near the start of the Wikipedia article on Fusion:
“Proposed fusion reactors would use the heavy hydrogen isotopes of deuterium and tritium for DT fusion, for which the Lawson criterion is the easiest to achieve.”
And this article says DT fusion is “overlooked.”
