Why do all these proposed fusion drive concepts involve either lasers or complicated magnetic fields to ignite the fusion fuel, why not use small fission bombs like the mini-mag orion? Wouldn't it be possible to kickstart a fusion reaction like a thermonuclear weapon and then use magnetic confinement to control it?
