Most of it I've forgotten, but there was a nightmarish portion about losing one of their rockets. The narrator speculated that the fuel, which was acidic and under super-high pressure, had somehow leaked out of one or more tanks and then boiled into the control cabin. Yeah, the rocket in the story was manned.... I had some unpleasant dreams about that for a while.Quote:What can go wrong in a fully fueled and pressurized liquid system rocket? Too many things. Why do you think ICBM's went to solid fuel?
