This is pretty d*mn big. Â What this is, in essence, is a prototype FUSION reactor. Â It’s really, really big. Â It’s really really heavy. Â It was a b*tch to build. But it WORKS. Â And, here is possibly the most important thing of all.
This is it. Â This, right here is the starting point of fusion reactors. Â Not in 5 years, or even 10, but this successful build means the brakes are off. Â It’s been proven, we know how to make it go. Â Now we just have to optimize the living h*ll out of it.
And, as humans, we are *really* good at that.
