While were still along way from it being commercially viable, its proof of concept and can now allow fusion energy to advance at a much faster pace, and other countries will also likely catch up with this new development and it'll become a arms race to make it more efficient and cheaper for commercial use. This can only mean good things as it means near limitless clean energy, which would fix many problems in the world and is very desirable.

After watching many Kuzgesagt videos, I have come up with the steps to mastery of the solar system: 1. Create moon base using skyhooks for cheap transportation 2. Get large amounts of energy using helium 3 and fusion 3. Using this energy, construct and power a station capable of mining asteroids autotamanously. While this is under construction, send a shuttle to a nearby asteroid rich in resourses and bring it back using gravity math stuff 4. Expand asteroid operation until rich in resources 5. Expand to Mercury, and set up a system to propel solar panels in order to begin construction of the Dyson Sphere 6. Complete dyson sphere and set up system that can effectively move the solar system using the energy from the sphere and mass from the sun. 7. Come close enough to a black hole that we are able to construct a large glass dome around it and use it as an infinite energy source 8. Stonks just some thoughs I had after watching like 20 videos in a row

remember, this is simply proof of concept and not commercially viable. However now it can advance at a much faster rate and other countries will enter a arms race to make fusion energy more efficient, cheaper and commercially viable, which can only mean good things as global warming will become less of an issue, same goes for pollution, and there won't be energy crisis's anymore.

Please make an update of this video! :D :D :D We are all so excited about fusion + National Ignition Facility made 2 major breakthrough; one in August 2021 and then a few days ago they managed to produce more energy than they used, first time ever. Never thought so much progress would have been made in only 6 years :) With the US government, Google, Chevron and other companies starting to pour billions in fusion energy, it really looks like it might happen in our lifetime. And with recent news, more funding might even pour in these projects from other investors.

Another video idea you ask? uhm.. -Space Elevator -Sink Holes -The Ionosphere -The long term benefits of abandoning inefficient industries instead of subsidizing them to increase jobs. Trump was talking about bringing back Coal for example to "create jobs", or the Germans I think are still subsidizing the manual Auto industry because they say switching all cars to Automatic would be much cheaper and simpler and would destroy tons of jobs. So they intentionally remain inefficient to avoid mass unemployment. -Actually a video about how future labor and economics could work that adapts to more and more efficient industry would be interesting. As we get more efficient we have less and less jobs and more people need to become entrepreneurs to even have a job. That last one would interest me the most xD

The only problem is if you just write scientists $10 billion cheque they wouldn't quite know what to do with it. The parts for the ITAR reaction has to be made by specialist companies from all around the world, and even then they don't always meet the requirements of what the scientists want, and has to be sent back for modifications. Even then they still don't know if the machine will work. Certainly more money will be helpful but sometimes when making new science there's no substitute for patience.

This is not fundamental research like general relativity, instead it's an engineering problem. Engineering problems are solved very well by correct application of £££. If there was a sustained high level of funding then you can build the industrial complex you need, train more scientists, etc.

Yes, the faster you run, the hotter you are. You may notice this if you have ever sweat before... swote.

Also, you do know that 30 billion in research since the 1950's is basically nothing, right? The '50s were almost 70 years ago. The only reason it is not being funded is regulations and restrictions are put on fusion tech by legislators that were influenced by lobbying and their own personal interests. The money exists. It is just not being put in the right places. No, a rich billionaire would not be able to help alone, but if one wanted, they could help pay our "elected officials" to actually pass what is needed to be passed. That said, billionaires are human and humans are naturally greedy and short-sighted.

Jeremy Patton At this point, yes, it probably is, but in the long-term, fusion energy seems like the logical next step if we are to engage in large-scale space involvement. We may never get to that point, but if we do, easy access to the moon and its dust would mean massive energy generation. Right now, we just need to get more of a push behind any form of renewable energy. In many areas, there is no funding go into any of it at all.
