LPAC—Megan Beets of the LaRouchePAC science team interviews Mike Paluszek, President of Princeton Satellite Systems, on his company’s design for a fusion-driven rocket. Far more advanced than other forms of propulsion, a fusion rocket would open up the solar system to exploration, development, and colonization—and with adequate funding, it could be ready in about a decade. This is a primary example of Lyndon LaRouche’s concept of an economic platform: how the application of a new scientific principle transforms mankind’s capabilities and opens up a new platform—the solar system—for economic development.
