And I have to wonder if half the reason why we can't get more from our rockets is actually related to the pressure put on by oil lobbies that keeps petroleum fuel sources predominant. These rockets are fueled by a petroleum product, yes? I don't know anything about this, but if we powered them with something else, would you get more "bang" for your buck that would enable us to shoot up something besides clunky tubes of steel?
