The US National Ignition Facility has achieved even higher energy yields since breaking even for the first time in 2022, but a practical fusion reactor is still a long way off

    The g-force problem is unimprovable-- humans themselves have a limit. The containment problem is not.

        Perhaps you didn’t understand me. I’m saying there’s a difference between a problem which cannot be reasonably solved (humans can only sustain X amount of g-force) and a problem which is merely difficult (plasma containment).

          There is a difference in degree yes. So?, People still ignore them and that is the point.

            The containment problem is not being ignored. It’s like the second most worked on part of fusion reactor technology besides power generation.
