Surely this is an excellent idea.

lol

enjoy your moon rocket being 0:4 and ours being 12:0.

oh what's that? you think soviets are superior in space? yeah, call me when N1 actually gets off the pad without blowing up.

IIRC it has been done, and the oxygen they combine with the kerosene in most rockets is liquid, they just use loads of insulation. The major problem with hydrogen is that is has to be pressurized, leading to significant weight gain.

I may be wrong but I believe the N1 had pressurized hydrogen tanks. That may have had something to do with it blowing up every single time though.

Fuck yeah soviet engineering
