Hey, if it works in a Titan II rocket it ought to work in a fuelie. Or
maybe they were emulating a Me-163. Hydrazine, methanol, and 80%

My physics TA was a drag racing fan. He liked to point out the textbook
illustration of the maximum coefficient of friction and linear
acceleration was getting bent at the strip. He also mentioned that if
you were trying to adjust the CG on a commercial airliner depleted
uranium was just the stuff.
