if we could master this type of technology wouldn't we be able to solar sail across our solar system at 20% the speed of light even without the sun's rays?

No, because we're all going to fucking die when it blows up. And if that doesn't kill us, it will be the robots we've made smart killing us.

"Artificial sun" is just a dumb sensationalist name to grab clicks. What it is is a fusion reactor - something progress is steadily being made towards in terms of a stable, long-running reactor. Current nuclear reactors use fission (splitting atoms).

lol @ this guy. Wonder what the agenda is because fusion reactor is definitely more clickbait than artificial sun

...what? "Artificial sun" tells you nothing about what it is or what even the point of it is. It's meant to draw people to it, because that will get more attention than saying "fusion reactor." He asked what the point of it was and I clarified that "artificial sun" has nothing to do with it.

Pretty cool.

Ah yes, fusion power is always maybe 10 years away. Right around the corner!

Seriously though, I think there will be some kind of energy revolution in my lifetime if we don't kill ourselves.

Also, username checks out.

I really feel like we're in the very, very early stages of true interstellar colonization, like how humans first left Africa. But again, very, very in the early stages.

In sci-fi, you often have precursor species who were around hundreds of thousands of years before any other intelligent species sprung up. If we don't find anyone else, that could very well be us.
We're definitely not organized in a way to actual do anything though. Even just mining on the Moon would take decades to return a profit(if, indeed, it proved very profitable at all), and why wait decades to make a profit if you can make one right here, right now? please ignore the legion of negative externalities, shareholders, because those are things we don't have to pay for!
One of the reasons fusion is coming along slowly is probably because there's not a lot of funding for a technology with the power to completely destroy our economic status quo.
