Things are heating up in the fusion race. permalink fedilink source hideshow 6 child comments replies: [–] misk@sopuli.xyz [S] 92 points 2 years ago (2 children) IIRC it was expected because previous record from China was essentially a trial for this one. It all happens under ITER project so it’s not that much of a race. permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 2 child comments replies: [–] ZJBlank@lemmy.world 43 points 2 years ago (1 child) Good shit. I’d rather this be a global cooperative effort rather than a jingoistic dick-waving contest. permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 1 child comment replies: [–] Sceptique@leminal.space 6 points 2 years ago It's several cooperative and competitives projects. Diversity is not bad for science anyway. ITER itself involve tons of countries. permalink fedilink source parent [–] Akasazh@feddit.nl 6 points 2 years ago* (last edited 2 years ago) (2 children) Good. The only thing that was quite remotely good about the cold war was the competition. permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 2 child comments replies: [–] ByteJunk@lemmy.world 21 points 2 years ago (1 child) That's not what this is, and even then, that competition wasn't even good. You had two countries hoarding technological advancements for themselves, with everything having to be discovered twice. This is a worldwide collaboration, where each assists the others, and it's a much better way of making progress.
