A machine as powerful as the Sun

/me stands here watching with bemusement at the velocity with which the conversation went from fusion to whether or not FF has “technology” in it to rocket science.

There is a problem with this. That car fuel will probably be alcoholic.

Ethanol is the very same alcohol we drink, you know.

But the thing you put in an ethanol-moved car is not pure alcohol, it’s alcohol mixed with other stuff which may kill you from intoxication should you drink it.

One for me, one for you, one for me, one for you, one for me…

(Kudos if you get the reference)

Simpsons.

You got it.

Luckily you were only promised a “Kudos” instead of any actual prize. :stuck_out_tongue:

The space shuttle uses solid boosters on the sides and the main engines supplied by liquid fuel (hydrogen and oxygen) from the external tank.

Rockets? Oh, I got used to those Russian wood-burning interballistic missiles.

space rockets use liquid oxygen as a fuel, not any sort of gasoline.

hydrogen, which burns when it gets in contact with oxygen, and the only thing the reaction produces besides a lot of energy taken from the hydro is water
This reminds me of of song by one of my favorite female singers :wink:

I’ve known a few guys who thought they were pretty smart
But you’ve got being right down to an art
You think you’re a genius-you drive me up the wall
You’re a regular original, a know-it-all
Oh-oo-oh, you think you’re special
Oh-oo-oh, you think you’re something else

Okay, so you’re a rocket scientist
That don’t impress me much.

Oh-oo-oh
Oh-oo-oh
Oh-oo-oh

We could get a lot more corn fields if we switch to ethanol fuels…
