FUSION REACTION TO CREATE STAR ON EARTH – BAD PLAN

I don’t know why we keep fooling around with stuff we just shouldn’t be messing with. Take this project to fire lasers to recreate a miniature sun on the surface of the earth. I’m not a scientist but it seems like a no-brainer to me that this is a BAD IDEA! I suspect there’s a reason that the sun is 93 million miles away. This project should be as well. Apparently these people have never seen Spiderman 2 where Doc Ock basically tries the same thing only with disasterous results. Guys, if you screw up Spiderman isn’t going to be there to save you. “The National Ignition Facility has already test-fired all 192 giant lasers at Lawrence Livermore National Laboratory in California as a part of this concept. The lasers will eventually focus their power on compressing and heating a single, pea-sized fuel capsule to more than 180 million degrees Fahrenheit in order to trigger thermonuclear fusion. Just 150 micrograms of deuterium and tritium, or less than one-millionth of a pound, can serve as the fuel for the NIF experiment. But containing the high-temperature plasma from a fusion reaction represents a special challenge: temperatures of 180 million degrees F and up would melt any known substance.” Challenge? Melt any known substance! Does that include the containment unit? How about the planet itself? Tritium, Isn’t that the same substance Doc Ock was after? “The rapid, intense heating from the lasers makes the outer layer of the tiny fuel capsule explode outward, and that compresses the remaining fuel inward and helps trigger the fusion reaction. Fusion burn consumes the cooler, outer regions of the capsule faster than the capsule can expand, which contains the resulting reaction.” You hope. Seems to me the key word here is Explode! This could give a whole new meaning to global warming. What if your little sun decides to go nova? Seems to me I read somewhere that our atmoshere is flamable. I think there’s a reason that stars function so well in the vacuum of space. I thought scientists were suppossed to be smart. I repeat…..BAD IDEA!!!!!
