Fusion/Fission Engine?

It seems that Boeing just patented a laser powered propulsion system. Exactly, now get ready for a weekend.. on the Moon?! With just some nuclear reactions it seems that this crazy idea could be true. In the near future? Clearly not possible. First, our knowledge about fusion is basically just theoretical. Practical applications are far, far away of being realized soon. And even better, the heat produced in the reaction can generate electricity, so even less losses! Better make your own opinion about it. Click on the picture below to know more. Also I recommend this link with additional and interesting information: LINK
