I didn’t realize the mass fractions were that low. Is that correct??

- philipkglass 1y agoYes, because hydrogen atoms are so light. It takes 12 hydrogen atoms to equal the mass of a carbon atom and 16 hydrogen atoms to equal the mass of an oxygen atom.
- bilsbie 1y agoIt’s a surprisingly good rocket fuel to be mostly carbon then.
