I have no idea why NASA does anything, I can say that big business has been know to blanket whole areas of science with "patent applications" to "sew up" the areas for later development or to block others from doing so. Everything from every possible gear-set arrangement for automatic transmissions (auto industry) to potential drug improvements (pharmacutal industry) has been done in the past and "new developments" have been refiled to extend the patent protection so as to slow down competitive developments. I am an old phart and still have trouble w/ Newtonian Physics, Quantum Theory is mumbo jumbo has far as I can see but I do respect the laws of Thermodynamics because they have withstood the test of time with nothing added or deleted.
My question for you is if low energy nuclear reactions are indeed possible, just what is it that is holding the entire universe together. Why doesn't everything just blink out in a flash of unbound energy in a massive chain reaction? If I recall that was a real concern back during the Manhattan project.

***There’s no reason to do that if it’s a chimera.

***I don’t see what LENR has to do with this level of cosmology.
