That, but also mimicing the pressure of the sun here is just not possible (yet? :D), why we need to play with higher temperaturs with different problematic consequences.


Well, have a look at https://qr.ae/prpVIL which says:

> The highest instantaneous pressures we can obtain here on Earth are in the Fusion reactor at the National Ignition Facility and in Thermonuclear weapon detonations. These achieve pressures of 5 x 10^12 and 6.5 x 10^15 Pascal respectively. For comparison, the pressure inside our Sun’s core is 2.5 x 10^16 Pascal.


Okok, amazing! But far from the controlled thing we'd like to have? :D
