The US National Ignition Facility has achieved even higher energy yields since breaking even for the first time in 2022, but a practical fusion reactor is still a long way off
Perhaps you didn’t understand me. I’m saying there’s a difference between a problem which cannot be reasonably solved (humans can only sustain X amount of g-force) and a problem which is merely difficult (plasma containment).

The g-force problem is unimprovable-- humans themselves have a limit. The containment problem is not.

The containment problem is not being ignored. It’s like the second most worked on part of fusion reactor technology besides power generation.
