...hardware is likely to grow out of them. The development of fusion power depends on better understanding of high-temperature plasmas. A plasma rocket engine expelling charged particles instead of hot gases may be the solution to the problem of long-range flight. During interplanetary voyages, a spaceship will pass through lashing streams of plasmas shot out of the sun, and its designers had better understand them well in advance.
