In no way Armadillo Aerospace's work shown that H2O2 engines are somehow fundamentally inferior to other rocket engines. What turned AA away from H2O2 were problems to obtain rocket-grade without building a processing plant.
- ansible 11y agoI do remember they were having issues with H2O2 supply. But I also remember lots of pictures of broken or melted catalyst on the blog. Perhaps my recollection is faulty.
