The moon gets more radiation per second than has probably EVER been produced by humans on earth.

Nuclear fuel != Weapon grade nuclear fuel. You cannont build a bomb with the stuff you put in a nuclear power plant. Why did the Russians have to fuck everything up for the entire world. Couldn't they have just build a radiation shield, written some rules. We would be going to pluto and back in a year with something like ORION launched from orbit by now except for the fact that saying 'nuclear' makes people crap their pants and hippies whip out the protest signs.
Submission + - Company claims cheap sustainable fusion. (technologyreview.com)
fumblebee writes: A Canadian start-up in Vancouver has improved on a 1980's method that the US military worked on. The method uses pnematic pistons to compress a rapidly spinning lead-lithium liquid that creates an acoustic shockwave that compresses injected plasma at the centre hopefully setting off a fusion reaction. The best thing? They claim to be able to do it within four years of starting a prototype and for less than 1 billion US.
