Let me break my logic down: Assumptions: --------------------- 1. The average commenter here (me!) knows a little about nuclear fusion, and a lot about online tech news. 2. There are no new ideas. Background: ------------------------ This big science project is overbudget, making incremental progress, and the timeline is stretching to forever. That is incredibly similar to the state of rockets 10 years ago - publically funded, making little progress. Leap of logic: ------------------------- Somewhere in his subconscious, OP pattern-matched to the only big successful science project in the news recently - SpaceX. But the subconscious no good at talky talky, and OP didn't trace the train of thought, so what came out was "Shoot them into space".
