Can a Seattle Startup Launch a Fusion Reactor Into Space?

From IEEE Spectrum comes the following paper:

Can a Seattle Startup Launch a Fusion Reactor Into Space?

Sounds interesting. However, Slashdot readers have responded with several points of fact. Which does not sound very good.

The Slashdot article is Can a Seattle Startup Launch a Fusion Reactor Into Space?

Too cool!

Here's another article about Avalanche: https://www.canarymedia.com/articles/nu ... able-parts

Is the Avalanche device another step in the line of Farnsworth --> Farnsworth-Hirsch --> Polywell?

Is the EMC2 view that its Polywell variant needs to be scaled up? Interesting that Tom McGuire's idea is stay small.
