As I had said previously I would like to the 1.6MJ shot reproduced. It looks like the last three shots have something going for them, but I think some of the crazy hype from the one shot was not really justified.

Looks like LLNL is really playing things down with this, or at least not allowing hype. After being a skeptic I’m beginning to think that NIF was a good idea after all. However, the world is a lot different since NIF a broke ground in the 90’s. The costs of refurbishing the stockpile are enormous. Im not sure it’s even affordable. I expect those exponentially growing cost to take most of the attention away from NIF and fusion.
