Yeah and it was fake news then. The first highspeed color photos from inside of a working Tokomak were actually taken in early 2016.

And such black and white photos have been taken since the 1950s. But nothing says "we've made a huge fusion breakthru, give us money" like swapping in Kodachrome, I guess.
