Here's the idea. You have a spaceship fly though jupiter's atmosphere, which contains both helium-3 and deuterium. You extract them, then use them to run a fusion drive that powers you to the nearest star at high velocity.

This is insane! No one can make any fusion drive work, and you're talking about one that's particularly hot and difficult!

Then you expect us to build it in space, hook it to a gigantic spaceship, dip it into the biggest planetary gravity well around, then zoom off to another star at a speed so high that a single pebble in our path will be equivalent to a direct hit by a nuclear missile!

Ahem.

The proposal is called "the jupiter scoopiter."

I will devote my life to it.
