You are adding quite a big layer of complexity there... As astronauts will tell you, even screwing a screw is pretty challenging out there. Maintaining an unrestrained fusion reaction looks like extra challenging

Ahhh, ok, thanks. Stupid me.

Nowadays people come up with the most weird stuff on the internet, I really thought it was a serious idea.

My bad
