instead of Large Hadron Collider we should have build Large Lithium Burner

At one point they were liquifying it, then spraying it into a fine mist to use as fuel in rocket engines. I think it was Rocketdyne who did this, maybe in the 1950s. It's been mystery tech since then though. Off limits they say. (http://www.autoadmit.com/thread.php?thread_id=5790978&forum_id=2Reputation#49383037) |

That's what I mean. They just decided it was "too dangerous" 60-70 years ago, and we never bothered to look at all the kooky shit you can do with molten lithium |
