…but could the JTEC be considered any closer to reality than the “onion”?
Yes, definitely. They have some stuff for JTEC that is already working (as I understood from the article they had the fuel cell membrane long time ago).
And AFAIK there needs to be a lot of work done to even get the “onion” project proof of concept funded.
… that was my point: JTEC’s been jammed up for years because of financing and, apparently, because of Johnson’s worries about control issues.
The tech is not really usable if it’s tied up or locked down… even if the blockages are for non-technical reasons.
