We have had fusion for millennia. Comes up every morning and runs 24hours a day around the globe. ?

Big step for the future of electricity generation. Next step figure out how to harness it.
Yeah, that is ALL they have to do now. I’ll wait, another 60 years or so.

I was told this was just around the corner 60 years ago.

That's interesting. Now, can they make money doing it?

I know that they will spend money trying to make it work.

As a energy system it only really makes sense for space travel, but only if they get the shielding and system mass to something comparable to a chemical rocket. Otherwise I'm not a fan of centralised generation that this would promote further.

That's true. One or two people stand to make a lot of money from this... Maybe three.
