Helium 3 is scarce on Earth requiring moon mining operations while boron 11 is more abundant.
Steam cycle power generation used by all current power systems is extremely inefficient compared to direct conversion.
Normal fusion produces neutrons that cannot be controlled or directed making it unsuitable for propulsion.
Thermonuclear weapons are actually fusion bombs using lithium 6 or lithium as fusion fuel.
Moon operations would involve heating the lunar surface to extract helium 3 which rises from the ground.
The Icarus mission in the 1970s investigated requirements for interstellar travel within human lifetime.
The black lines from the orbs appear black because they represent X-ray emissions.
