[ mention is made of use of fusion energy for launch ] Could someone comment on the use of cheap energy to power some kind of laser launch system? I remember reading somewhere about a design in which argon gas in the launch vehicle was heated by a (very large) ground-based laser system. Maybe some of the SDIO research may yet come in handy! -- Mark Muhlestein @ Icon International Inc. uunet!iconsys!mmm
