So there is a Youtube Channel I am sure that you have all heard of called kurzgesagt.

Their most recent video is about some futuristic tech and moving a star to avoid a supernova. So it is far looking tech but they claim it is in the real of our physics.

I highly recommend it as it is interesting to think about these things and I figure all here will enjoy the pieces they put from a "real physics" POV and the conversations here.

But the part that really stood out to me as at minute 5:14. They describe a process of fueling their device by taking H and HE. They have a nifty animation.

I INSTANTLY thought of something I saw in 2011. Much like the Norway Spiral from 2009(which side note try to find a nice HQ version of that event is supremely diffucult these days) there is a video of something truly incredible that most people have just forgotten.

I didnt choose that version for any particular reason just it showed the clips i needed and remembered. Notice how similar the process in the first video is to the second?


That craft in the second video is enormous.

The space game / simulator "Elite: Dangerous" allows you to scoop plasma from stars for refueling your ship.
