Some people are ahead of you by 3.5 years [0]:

You're missing the big picture. Helion can still make their goal. Once they have a working fusion reactor they can use the energy to build a time machine.

Of course, silly me. I should put more practice time into 4D chess.

We're halfway into 2025 and you're cutting a goal they should have reached by 2024. Did they reach that goal?

They didn't reach that goal. Why would they bother reaching an easier goal when they could shoot for a bigger one? /s Their new goal is to build a fusion plant by 2028 [0].
