Just like the US "Plans To" go to Mars in 30 years. Before Helium-3 fusion works, first we need to get D-T fusion working.

- ansible 12y agoOr... any kind of fusion to be practically net-energy positive. As in, not only are we getting more energy out than is needed to fuse, but also being able to capture enough of it to power the reactor continuously. I think we are a long ways off from that. I'd like to see an expansion of research into Thorium reactors and other more intrinsically safe fission designs.
- marcosdumay 12y agoThe US is much more likely to get to Mars in 30 years than China to start commercially using He3 fusion in any amount. (Not saying that I think the US is even remotely likely to put people on Mars in 30 year - beause I don't.)
