So I am wondering if FFS was about fusion focus and not just focus fusion would it not attract more supporters and help us get over the critical mass required for ignition?

As far as branding is concerned, “focus fusion” is not affiliated in everyone’s minds with the dpf. If the dpf + pB11 are successful, you can bet we’ll have great bragging rights for sticking with the name. If it turns out to be less than necessary for net energy, it will still have added to the science of fusion so that we can respectfully keep it with pride, and at the same time it’s an ambiguous enough name to be generic.

“Focus Fusion” is also inherently action oriented – it’s a command to focus fusion. In contrast, fusion focus is a noun phrase, not as active.

Each fusion organization out there serves the greater fusion cause. We’re all part of the same endeavor, the same quest. So we all become affiliates of each other. There are activities we pursue that are synergystic. We can make these more explicit. At the same time, we are one of the few organizations that seeks to bring aneutronic fusion and this particular approach to it to the fore. These will all be stated in our mission. I don’t think it’s an either/or thing.
