If LOx is good, wouldn't liquid ozone be better?
That gets you the worst of both worlds: it's cryo, *and* it's an
energetic monopropellant just waiting for an excuse to do a spectacular
solo performance. In the case of *clean* nitrous near room temperature,
the excuse at least has to be a good one -- the nitrous in the Scaled
Composites accident almost certainly had organic contamination -- but
ozone is less fussy. Much better if all the heats of formation are
negative until things mix in the chamber...
Oh, and you have to make it rather than buy it, because nobody in his
right mind will make it for you.
