Reply to comment by radicalceleryjuice in Fusion energy breakthrough and national security implications explained by TheScienceAdvocate

space (interstellar) travel or communities on Mars (why anyway?), are likewise unlikey to be scaled/brought into reality before climate/pollution catastrophes on earth.

i'd take all the money that's being wanked against the wall by psychopaths like musk and bezos with their vanity projects and divert that into fusion research.

I would rather money go to fusion than Mars, definitely, as long as our highest priority is on things that can make a difference starting immediately.

Also, it's hard to say how much technology progress will speed up. The way machine learning is progressing, the future is getting increasingly hard to predict... and you know what they say about predicting the future!
