Fusion doesn't even work on earth.
These paper missions will be just that for the next 50 years, paper missions.

That's a NASA Institute for Advanced Concepts study. The keyword here being CONCEPTS. It is a mission CONCEPT. NASA isn't actually building a fusion rocket.
You should post the most recent one:

Also the dailymail is a horrible source and you should feel bad for posting it

Still more than MemeX. Last time I checked BFR/MCT was also a CONCEPT.

See NASA will have a base on Pluto before SpaceX gets to Mars

The reason why this thread has been shit up with memes is it was a shit thread to begin with. When the OP posted a hypothetical concept and said "lul SpaceX BFTO xDDDD" it doomed this thread to general retardation and now we're like a pack of angry chickens pecking the mutant to death.
We do this because it's the humane thing to do. Meanwhile it's struggling, the OP still hasn't realized he's a fucking retard and we're all laughing at him: >>8055809
