If my understanding is correct, 2 is nearly solved if we have a room temp ambient superconductor

Fusion power engineering has gotten a lot further than most people think!

But yeah I suspect the people who are most excited about this news are fusion power engineers!

Please connect the dots for me. What does a room temp & atmosphere superconductor do for space travel? I am unaware of any obvious impact.

Magnetic containment reactor designs become at least an order of magnitude easier if we have room temp/pressure super conductors.
