You had me at FOOF.

But FOOF/dimethylmercury as an oxidizer/fuel pairing is just so wonderfully 
wrong that it's right. Wow. I'm in awe of the utter wrongitude of that mixture.

I wonder what the stoichiometry of that reaction would be? I'm curious how the 
mass ratios would work out, and whether it ought to be run lean or rich for 
maximum ISP....

It's a horrible thing to be curious about, I know, but still.... My mind runs 
that way sometimes.

Cheers,

Rick Dickinson
