ITER fusion reactor to see further delays, with operations pushed to 2034
https://arstechnica.com/science/2024/07/iters-timeline-for-fusion-stretched-out-even-further/
Full fusion power won't happen until nearly 2040 on new timeline
So never..?
Just a taxpayers money sink.

Probably never. Tokamacs may never work.
Just a taxpayers money sink.
Big science generally gobbles big bucks with small results. I was just reading an essay by Freeman Dyson about that.

Elon Musk's projects should be the first cut.

Mr. Government Funding thinks people should be executed for opposing
passing laws that already exist...

SpaceX rockets are amazingly reliable and cost a fraction of the
absurd NASA/Boeing junk.
And his booster stages are reusable. That amazes me.
The idea of using a lot of small rocket engines is brilliant. A few
can fail and the launch still works.

Admittedly, a rocket that will still fly with several of its parts
seriously broken is without antecedent. Previously, normal procedure
would be to blow up and scatter over a large area.

Maybe NASA can contract with Musk to rescue those guys that Boeing
stranded in the ISS. Better yet, evacuate everyone.
