Good to know, I'd forgotten that exchange. I return to thinking that
lox/ch4 monopropellant is completely crazy, not just mostly. Thanks!

By the way, does anyone know how to get a hold of the NASA
lox-methane-monoprop bibliography mentioned in the message linked to above?

Again only tangentially related, but anyone happen to have seen the
critical diameter of mixed LOX/Methane? I still think it's insane to
have it in a tank as a monopropellant, but mixing it and injecting it
into a thrust chamber through porous sintered metal or laser drilled
micro holes could give interesting results if it doesn't explode.
