Once we shrink it, powering space going vessels by fusion becomes reasonable which lowers the cost and time it takes to get places. Suddenly mars and Venus become reasonable for exploitation along with NEOs and earth Trojans.

Plus it wouldn't be that far fetched to make artificial cosmic rays and turn carbon or oxygen into lithium, which will soon be a bottle neck mineral.
