As to going orbital, there are some old Air Force studies of DPF as an SSTO power source, using MHD drive. I believe the conclusion was that there was power to spare. If so, theoretically FF is the basis of a sci-fi one-ship-does-all vehicle! If I can find the links, I’ll post them.
Found one PDF which has couple of interesting references that might help your search: “http://namcub.accela-labs.com/stories/pdf/Advancements in Dense Plasma Focus (DPF) for space propulsion.pdf”
I don’t have time to search further just now, but this definitely is interesting.
