Default Newest use for N20 performance!!!!

LOL, not only is rubber and N20 getting us to the 1320 in record times, it will take us to the stars real soon to. Couldn't resist holding this back from u guys and gals so check this out.

For those who don't want to read it. A private company that is building a small ship to be able to touch low orbit with a few passengers and be ready for launch again in 2 weeks to win the X Prize ($10 M) is using rubber for fuel and N20 as the oxidizor in their hybred engine. They say they might even use this to power other craft such as rockets and space probes.

Mass quantities of N20 being made, can u say getting cheaper, or will the new demand make the price skyrocket(no pun intended)???

Wow!! Interesting. I'd say that would make it cheaper if they mass produce it.

I thought you where going to say strapping 10 bottles to your car and opening them full at the same time. Hey, that is a cheap way to make 9000 psi of thrust
