Okay, the National Ignition Facility is officially the best name for a laboratory of all time ever.

They should have adverts with lots of explosions and scantily clad females.
It would be glorious and kids would be interested in science again.

It sounds like a hangar full of loonies with zippos setting fire to random shit.
For SCIENCE!!!

The test chamber looks like Cerebro from X-Men.

Wow, interesting. Looks like fusion power is lot more closer (and possible) than I thought.

Well, breakeven point is a huge milestone, but there's a long way between working-in-a-lab and a functional commercial power plant. Still, it's a crucial step!

Yay, nuclear fusion!
It's just a shame that firing the laser to create the temperatures needed for fusion will create more energy than the fusion does.

Sounds like that laser would go together quite nicely with that real life Gundam stationed over in Japan.

Still impossible. Bond can't die another day because tomorrow never dies.

Seriously, that is some firepower.
And good news for nuclear fusion hopefuls! It appears they are close to reaching the break-even point for ignition by laser. Should that happen we'll be advancing the Kardashev Scale in no time!
