What? 1 hour 11 min?

The technology might change before I'm done watching the video.

I love this stuff. clearly this wont be online tomorrow. the Skunk-works continues its legacy of taking on the nearly impossible. containing a fusion reaction isn't kids stuff!

I'm not confident this current design will be a final effort. at this point it seems like a good test mule to identify weak areas but I wouldn't be surprised if it actually turns out to be physically larger in it's final form
