Fusion rockets and fusion power have different design goals. Fusion power seeks positive overall energy return; fusion rockets have no such restriction and are instead concerned with propulsive efficiency. Many extremely popular rocket fuels take more energy to create than they give back when reacted.

All these scams do is to permit the “scientists” to live a jet set life style.
