I diffidently agree there. Nasa is pretty poor unfortunately.
Also, last time I read this thread, I was going to post something about nuclear fusion. Something I read just today reminded me, and confirmed what i thought I had earlier thread.
Basically, nuclear fusion is possible and has been demonstrated in one way or another, but a self-sustained reaction has not yet been demonstrated. Apparently, and correct me if im wrong, it has something to do with the size of the reactor.

Mostly correct I think.
When ITER comes on line it is expected to be well above 100% efficient. Another interesting fact is that the increase in the efficiency of Tokamaks (fusion reactors) also obeys its own version of Moore's Law, only it grows at a slightly greater rate.
A slightly more random fact is that the plasma in a controled fussion reaction on Eath has to be ~10 times the temperature of the core of the sun (where natural fussion occurs) in order to produce fussion.

Proof of ITER's efficiency?

earth? preparation for a futur moon war.
NASA isn't planning to send a manned spaceship to the moon before 2035.
