Nitrous oxide also used to make my goat washed 💔💔

Explosives are fun. Must study experiment more (true story, I had a chem TA who claimed his frat at MIT had an explosives budget bigger than their booze budget. Given his personality, totally believable as fact)

That oversized jacket is just too cute

Didn't expect to find rocket science in my romcom manga, I welcome the surprise tho.

 

[Grogzilla]

It's just too cute to be contained

Cute dorks.
Gotta bring some Lego to the dentist next time!
And it's not Legos! FOR SHAME Translator-san (thanks for the translation)

Should just use hydrazine UDMH as the oxidizer. Or if they aren't cowards fluorine 😁

For those interested in these things, Ignition is an excellent book about the development of rocket fuels, written in a very 1960s-engineer-deadpan humour style that works extremely well with the topic

flirting as fuel

Glad the senpai is a supportive wingwoman instead of being a jealous third-wheel idiot that nobody actually asks for.

Hydrazine is actually a reducing agent, AKA it's a fuel that needs to be oxidized! Fluorine is indeed an oxidizer however, and yes, extremely dangerous

Fluorine is indeed an oxidizer however, and yes, extremely dangerous !!FUN!!

Fixed it for ya

I've found the cause of my heart exploding at least

Her imitating a rocket reminded me of Chaves yelling "it's another cat!" XD
Different era, different medium, different sides of the globe, same joke!

Yep. Titan used UDMH (undifferentiated methyl hydrazine) as fuel and nitrogen tetroxide as the oxidizer. Nitrogen tetroxide decomposes into red fuming nitric acid. The two are hypergolic -- they ignite on contact. VERY energetically. They're both also toxic as hell. Ain't rocketry fun?

It's available free online as a pdf. It also ties in nicely to one of the funniest science blogs ever: "Things I Won't Work With". An organic chemist talks about the most insane chemicals he's ever read about. Azidoazide azide; notrotetrazole oxides, or (my favourite) Dioxygen diflouride (FOOF), wherein the most energetic decompositor is intentionally combined with THE oxidizer.

The most unrealistic things about all of this is to have a High-school that will somehow fund an actual rocket R&D and the occasional engine explosion

I believe they said it's a university program that they let high schoolers participate in

Lovely dorks + Science = Epic Win

I miss the old Kanye, straight from the Go Kanye
Chop up the soul Kanye, set on his goals Kanye
I hate the new Kanye, the bad mood Kanye
The always rude Kanye, spaz in the news Kanye
I miss the sweet Kanye, chop up the beats Kanye
I gotta say, at that time I'd like to meet Kanye
See, I invented Kanye, it wasn't any Kanyes
And now I look and look around and there's so many Kanyes

😭😭💔💔
