We do have decades of "engeneeringly standpoint" trials with fusion energy with a huge amount of money and effort spent with nothing to show for. The method described above reminds me of the 1950s approach. To make it short, I do not think that this thought is really worth it to spend money or scientific effort on. The space elevator is a much more plausible and realistic method which does not involve controlling a fusion bomb (my god). In my eyes the real feasable technology for cheap transport of goods into
