The lede of the article says "Work on similar designs appears to have demonstrated a theoretical problem in the very design that suggests it could never be used for practical generation." However, at the end of the article is "The last version of this effort, FIREX, shut down in 2003, having disproved what appears to be a purely theoretical reason why the Astron concept will never work." which seems to contradict the lede. I could not find a statement in the body of the article that supported the lede's claim. SpinningSpark 08:04, 1 November 2011 (UTC)[reply]
