Eric Lerner was the special guest for this Space Show program. Mr. Lerner discussed in detail Focus Fusion which is also Dense Plasma Focus (DPF). Not only did we discuss the relevance of this for us all here on Earth, but for space travel and transportation as well. This program is a continuation in our ongoing discussion of fusion and I must say, Mr. Lerner's approach and what he is doing sounds very plausible and exciting.
