Great video from David Pogue on the National Ignition Facility: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7rI5-wASmzQ

If you watch the video it looks like it was shot earlier this year, but it is 10 years old. And yet, the video mentions 192 lasers (so that hasn't changed in 10 years), and they also mention that even after ignition is achieved, "laser fusion won't be able to power a city until a plant can fire 100s of shots a minute."

Interesting quote from a skeptic in the video: "We'll see pigs fly before we see ignition at the National Ignition Facility".
