Fusion has long been the propulsion end-goal for interplanetary travel, and a U.K.-based company thinks on its way to achieving that dream.

      I mean maybe, I don’t know. You’re likely to crush whoever is in the vehicle trying to go that fast. Humans can only handle very low g-acceleration.

    Thinking about it, a fusion rocket makes sense. The difficulty with building a fusion reactor is containing the plasma, but with a rocket you want the plasma to escape. It sounds much easier.
