You miss the point. OK. Make your point. Be plain about it. I have no patience for the kind of verbal run-around you're attempting.
The rest of your post is incoherent nonsense of which you should be (but probably aren't) ashamed.

I had a huge world map on my wall we got free from some chainsaw display at the local co-op and I plotted the Mercury and Gemini capsule launches on it. Had little cardboard cutouts I made with my SHARP school scissors...........😎

BTW, I have a small scar within half an inch of my left eye. Been there since I was 5.
DO NOT RUN WITH SCISSORS.

The Teller-Ulam design used atom bombs to create a temporary bottle. Pressure from the radiation of a fission bomb squashed the fuel from the outside; pressure from the explosion of a fission “spark plug” compressed the fuel from the inside. Caught in between these two nuclear anvils, the deuterium and tritium fuel was crushed, heated, and bottled up for a fraction of a second. The result was a brief burst of fusion energy: an exploding sun. However, the brevity and violence of the explosion made it suitable only as a weapon of war. To harness the power of fusion for peaceful purposes, scientists needed a much subtler kind of bottle.Teller was hated because according to a friend associate with the Bulletin of Atomic Scientists (back in 1964) Teller was the ONLY scientist who was NOT compromised by Russians... she also said the Bulletin of Atomic Scientists was a commie front organization. And since she was a commie it was believable.

That’s right. Even the author of “Sun in a Bottle” notes that Teller was a better theoretician than the second-gen commie Oppenheimer.

The commies I knew in ‘64 hated Teller with a hatred that was beyond all their other hatreds combined. Teller could not be buttered up the way the rest of them were. (appeals to their ‘greatness in understanding ONLY THEY could save the world by making sure both sides had the information therefore insuring ‘peace’.) Teller never wavered. And for years the left mocked Teller as being a second rate scientist. Oppenheimer was the norm - not the exception.
