- monocasa 7y agoIt's this stuff https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/FOGBANK https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/FOGBANK Basically we know why we want it (optimally igniting the second stage using the energy of the first stage), but we don't know exactly what it's made out of or the process for making it. We know it's gnarly, toxic stuff though.
