PAR Fusion's concept involves utilizing nuclear fusion propulsion, a technology that mimics the internal mechanisms of a star. Nuclear fusion has been pursued by scientists for decades on Earth but has proven incredibly complex. PAR Fusion's CEO, Richard Dinon, believes that space may offer a more feasible environment to harness this energy. By using powerful magnets to heat plasma and fuse Helium-3, the company envisions a 'nuclear propellant' that can propel their spacecraft far beyond current capabilities.
