On a refreshingly down-to-earth note, I just got my SpaceDev Corporation
newsletter; which proudly states that the motor for Spaceship One "burns
rubber (HTPB) and laughing gas (N2O)". It does not state if the rubber

make it more compatible with the laughing gas.

Good grief. A chicken?! Where did you get that ridiculous idea?


It's in the form of a whoopee cushion.
