The Electrostatic Fusion Machine is to use an alternate layer of tungsten and boron carbide(W/B4C) to act as an X-ray. http://www.crossfirefusion.com/reactor/

Traveling to other stellar systems will be amazing. Mankind's future is in space, seeking out new resources to sustain Earth's ever growing population. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GSkxPghXTCg

An fusion-powered starship need to be sized about five floor. http://tinyurl.com/nuclear-fusion-starship

Antimatter production is almost impossible with current technologies. Aneutronic nuclear fusion is more affordable. Furthermore, we need spacedrive more efficient in terms of energy usage than expelling-mass rockets. spacedrive video

There are well-conceived alternative fusion concepts that can be cheaper than NIF and ITER behemoths. http://www.crossfirefusor.com/nuclear-fusion-reactor/overview.html
