Remember that the human genome project was started in in 1990, completed in 2003. In 2003 it took a year to sequence 80% of the human genome, now it takes a day to do 98%. In 1990 they had the understanding on how to sequence DNA, but scaling that across whole human genome seemed like monumental task.

I'm guessing in a decade we'll have a viable early stage industrial process, and in 2 decades we have commissioned fusion reactors.

If we don't kill the planet with nuclear war or the climate crisis.
