[NIAC 2023] Fusion Reactor To Melt Through Europa's Ice
b'
In this interview, I\'m talking with Theresa Benyo and Lawrence Forsley from NASA. They are authors of a Lattice Confinement Fusion Reactor that got a NIAC award this year. A reactor like this could help us melt through the ice on Europa and Enceladus and have other interesting applications in space missions.
