Cuz most usefull things theese days arent made cuz of the military. And things that actually were made cuz of the military were made while the country was in a big war.

@Ezio Auditore Europe has invested lots of money on it. France has the largest fusion reactor currently (the ITER mentioned in the video); this year Italy is building an experimental prototype that should improve on France's technology--the so called DTT project. So, the US is not alone in this--it's actually a worldwide project, as it should be (many teams from plenty of countries work together, often in real time)

By this time next year, they will have run the 'continuous' test as well, and if it proves viable, which the results they have so far are more promising than they originally expected them to be, then it won't be long before someone makes a reactor.

After watching many Kuzgesagt videos, I have come up with the steps to mastery of the solar system: 1. Create moon base using skyhooks for cheap transportation 2. Get large amounts of energy using helium 3 and fusion 3. Using this energy, construct and power a station capable of mining asteroids autotamanously. While this is under construction, send a shuttle to a nearby asteroid rich in resourses and bring it back using gravity math stuff 4. Expand asteroid operation until rich in resources 5. Expand to Mercury, and set up a system to propel solar panels in order to begin construction of the Dyson Sphere 6. Complete dyson sphere and set up system that can effectively move the solar system using the energy from the sphere and mass from the sun. 7. Come close enough to a black hole that we are able to construct a large glass dome around it and use it as an infinite energy source 8.

The only problem is if you just write scientists $10 billion cheque they wouldn't quite know what to do with it. The parts for the ITAR reaction has to be made by specialist companies from all around the world, and even then they don't always meet the requirements of what the scientists want, and has to be sent back for modifications. Even then they still don't know if the machine will work. Certainly more money will be helpful but sometimes when making new science there's no substitute for patience.

Not true, patience does not get you anything. We sat on our ass for decades and starved nuclear research and space R&D off funding, and progress basically stopped there.

If there was a sustained high level of funding then you can build the industrial complex you need, train more scientists, etc.

It is just not being put in the right places.

Jeremy Patton At this point, yes, it probably is, but in the long-term, fusion energy seems like the logical next step if we are to engage in large-scale space involvement. We may never get to that point, but if we do, easy access to the moon and its dust would mean massive energy generation. Right now, we just need to get more of a push behind any form of renewable energy. In many areas, there is no funding go into any of it at all.

@@kaungsatthein8172 you know, you need a lot of protons ie, H+ and gravity with high temp to start the fusion reaction, but the sun has way more lot of hydrogen, but only 20% of it goes for fusion, and till now only 5% have turned into helium among those 20% hydrogen, the remaining 80% hydrogen only contributes gravity and cannot be used as fuel for fusion you know a star will be a star until it undergoes fusion.

Australia just spent 200 billion to sell guns to terrorist groups and sponsor Indonesia to help them commit genocide on West Papuans. I think we have enough. Australia has also spent 2 billion to boost gas companies in the middle of a fire season too! Australia spends billions handing out subsidies to climate criminals, and also is paying to let gas companies take over CSIROso that they can silence them about climate change.

Excellent overview! The problem is energy transfer. We don’t currently have an efficient way to extract energy from a nuclear reaction. Even fission based reactors rely on heat transfer to power steam turbines, to then generate electricity at a huge loss of power from that being released from the reactor itself, and with fusion it takes more energy to start the reaction and maintain it than what we can extract from it on the output. So it’s a net loss of power until someone comes up with a much better method for converting a nuclear reaction into usable electric power.
