Purdue, NASA, the Air Force Office of Scientific Research and Pennsylvania State University are all working together on a new rocket propellant called ALICE. Not named for anyone's girlfriend or mother, the name ALICE comes from what the propellant is made out of: frozen mixture of water and "nanoscale aluminum" powder.

  • crap

  • nope

  • we won't be able to make anti-matter rockets until long long after we've managed to make fusion powered rockets/spaceships.. and it will at best shave a few years of a potential trip "to-the-nearest-star" which will still take something of the order of 100 years...

  • It's a frozen Thermite Slurry

  • Teehee, Carianne used to wrap herself in Tinfoil >:3

  • so thats why looking for water on the moon

  • WOW ! AL-ICE propellant ! I hope they can scale this up so it can be used for the Ares I and V ! Any developments in the uses of matter-antimatter engines ??
