The Dream vs Reality
Every second, the Sun fuses 620 million tons of hydrogen into helium. This releases energy equivalent to 100 billion nuclear bombs—continuously.
We're trying to recreate this in a room-sized machine on Earth.
If we succeed: 1 cup of fusion fuel = 8 million cups of gasoline in energy terms.
This isn't science fiction. This is the engineering challenge of our generation.

Design Your Mars Fusion Reactor
You're designing a fusion reactor for a Mars colony. Consider the engineering trade-offs between different fusion fuels.
Think about: Temperature requirements, fuel availability, transport costs, technology readiness, and backup plans.
Key insight: The "best" fuel isn't always the cleanest or most abundant—it's the one that fits your constraints.
