Not entirely sure how much the register thinks it costs.
To design the first ever commercial man made star. But 220 m for such new science. Designed by researchers and specialists in a brand new field. Seems pretty bloody cheap to me.
As for building it being a pipe dream. We are far more prepared for it then we were the first fission power plants. Without some risk progress stops.
Will it cost more. Of course. But it is also the future of energy independence. And based on the first successful smaller design. So far from a pipe dream.
Not yet. We have only been doing 2 years. And are now staying in Oxford over this summer and next while we redo the interia of the boat.
The flooring is the 1976 original so is starting to have issues with damp.
We also plan to build all the furniture so it can easily be moved to check the bilge etc.
Basically on the way back from Wales last summer we had to stop and get some of the hull over plated.
