Default MEMS Rocket Fabric Fuel?

William Mook writes:

I see the following development arcs;

MEMS based rockets, MEMs based inertial guidance, MEMS based life
support, etc.

Conventional liquid fuel rockets built with MEMs components around
existing aeroshell and tankage technology.

Creation of fully reusable cryogenic and non-cryogenic liquid fuel
rockets with aforementioned components.

1) commercial moon tourism flights
2) development of global wireless hotspot


If you posit MEMS rockets operating across entire surfaces, like millions
of inkjet printers, what do you suppose is the best chemical fuel?

Hypergolics?

How reactive are those with the Si materials used in MEMS construction?

Just curious,

Dave
