Do you think it is possible to create a fusion reactor that actually works in as sustained way. That is, one that generates electricity for low cost for the masses?

So, not in my lifetime.

There is halfnium if that would help towards unobtainium.

Thanks for this answer. Brings me up to date.

As a nukedude who worked at the NTS from 1957-65 and worked with Dr. Stanley Kronenberg at Fort Monmouth NJ who once answered my question about nuclear fission for commercial electricity generation and whether we would ever harness it to that effect, his answer was NO.

All the science gained through experiments make it all worthwhile I suppose, although I can't point to any specific discoveries yet.

Heisenberg rules.

Joe. I was in Yosemite with my family in 1979 I think, may have been 76 or 78 . With them at Bridelveil Falls when the guy who did a one man special issue of National Geographic on the National Parks took a picture of my daughter with the mist and breeze at her face while I was holding her. Her face was over my shoulder and she must have had that beautific look she would sometimes get when she was in ecstasy. The photographer said to me that if I wanted a copy of it I could get one and gave me his card. He seemed to think it was a good shot. Life went on and I forgot about it and didn't do it. Now my daughter is 44 years old and has two sons. I would like to see if it is possible that this photo still exists in the archives at NG and if I could possibly get a print of it?

The photographer said NG doesn't usually feature pictures of people but he snapped this one because her face moved something in him.

Not certain but it may have been an issue entitled "Our National Parks" Published in July 1979.
