- oldgradstudent 2y agoControlled by a quantum computer, obviously.
- simne 2y agoBecause nobody predict so large grow of space industry, which could make fusion profitable. Second problem, for space weight is so expensive, that it made fission viable, and solve proliferation problem (very little risk, somebody will steal materials from Moon or beyond).
- nancyminusone 2y agoYou still need somewhere for the heat to go, and that's a lot easier if you're on top of water instead of nothing. Although, a good radiator on a spacecraft still seems trivially easy compared to having a working fusion reactor in the first place.
