I'd poach people from flagging molten salt reactor teams, 3D modelers, machine and tool experts, as well as anybody with an even remotely plausible high thrust magnetoplasma engine concept, I'd find as many plasma physicists as possible and offer them double whatever shitty university salaries they were making and millions of dollars worth of bleeding edge software and equipment to figure out as quickly and decisively as possible which concepts work, which don't, and how to get them as powerful and efficient as possible.
Same for the MSR teams, I'd pay them to work around the clock in three rotations of eight hour shifts to make their reactors as small, as simple, and as light as humanly possible, and task the modelers and machinists to build them.
I'd spend the rest of my money on investing to make even more money and lobbying to ensure that the g*vernment sits the fuck down and shuts the fuck up.
