The summer of 1999 on the way to E&M class I rode the same bus to the physics building as Dr. Hendrik Monkhorst. He is one of the founders of Tri Alpha Energy, and I remember chatting with him about about aneutronic fusion. It was very eye opening for a 19 year old undergraduate. I remember him espousing commercialization within ten years, which now seems like prototypical professorial optimism. It is an exciting milestone to see them have successful confinement for a solid length of time.
