Dr. Young K. Bae on fusion, Sunday, 6-29-25

Dr. Young Bae was our guest for this Zoom program to discuss fusion energy possibilities. We began our discussion with Dr. Bae with a focus on nuclear fusion power and space propulsion. The conversation covered Dr. Bae’s research career, the challenges in developing fusion technology, and potential applications for space. We aimed to conclude with a consensus that both fusion and thorium-based fission could play key roles in future space propulsion, while fission would likely remain the more viable option for terrestrial energy needs. At the start of the program, I reminded listeners of the importance of financially supporting The Space Show, as it is 100% listener-funded.
