I mean potentially? It doesn’t really fit into the current paradigm of rocketry, strapping bigass boosters to a tube, and even if they did have all that electricity what would it be used to power? I think it could be a step towards making the moon and Mars more convinient to reach but a fusion reactor alone won’t get anywhere.
It’s 100% a step along the way, but the relationship between emf and gravity has to become more defined before we get Star Trek irl.
nuclear lightbulb engines are sexy. and i love seeing radiators on spacecraft in movies... it's so rare but awesome when you do (i think the Martian and maybe Avatar had spacecraft with radiators visible?)
