Well I guess that cat is out of the bag.

What do you mean by "that cat"? Are there other cats to get out of the bag?

Way to go SpaceX. Making access to space common place!

This is also part of the establishment of a third Joint Force Command within NATO. Something I have had a part in making happen.

Well, what I was referring to was the general lack of mention of Polywell in any fusion discussion. I watched a "panel" discussion on fusion with Focus Fusion, Tri Alpha, NIF and someone representing investors, but no mention of Polywell. It just seems like almost all venues about fusion d...

SJ, thank you very much for the links. Some of the best overviews I have seen. The jump in power out from 500 MW to 1 GW is impressive and suggestive of a high probability of success. It seems like all the areas of risk are highly manageable. Pretty exciting. I note though that it the first video an...

While I might not support the result, one has to acknowledge the planning and skill required to produce a recognizable figure.

WOW.

Good lord. You can't argue stupid.

"Improvement of the current laboratory-scale devices, in order to provide long duration thrust at levels required for practical propulsion applications." darn, that is exciting! Oh the possibilities. Interesting question on the size of the planet versus technological capability to escape. ...

It's just numerical simulation followed by "more detailed" modeling and numerical simulation. Still, NASA looking at it is good!

Successful launch and landing! (Fun to say.)

Launch aborted due to problems with Thrust Vector Control problems in second stage. Next launch opportunity is tomorrow at 0938 EST.

Way to go SpaceX! A bunch more and then we are on to something.
