In order to continue growing while at the same time avoiding harming the envirnment around us we must learn to tap larger and larger amounts of concentrated, pollution-free energy. From the chemical, through the nuclear, through the power of the sun, and on to even larger sources. Ultimately trhe advance of the human race through the universe must take us to the greatest source of concentrated energy physically possible-a black hole. And then our power will at last be equal to our imagination. The aim is to demonstrate the world's first practical Fusion reactor.
Fusion is a form of nuclear power much safer and cleaner than the present fission standard.
It's a leading candidate to power future space craft.
