A couple of quotes from the article that jumped out to me...

"expand their ability to research nuclear fusion weapons, the NIF's core mission " - How very American...

"nuclear fusion could one day be a relatively safe and sustainable method for generating energy on Earth. " - Hey... If we occasionally sterilise everything within 50 miles of the facility, it happens... Worth it eh?

In my opinion
This is a breakthrough. 60 years to prove 'that there is nothing fundamentally wrong'.
And all achievements are speeding up due to technology boost.
Live and essential energy source issue with important news nowadays.
