"The large mass and the need for a high power removal of a terrestrial fusion reactor make the MCF [Magnetic Confinement Fusion] and the ICF [Inertial Confinement Fusion] hardly implementable for space propulsion applications. Rocket mass is indeed a hard constraint in space propulsion, and power exhaust is a critical issue in space due to the absence of an efficient thermal sink."
