    Curious George
  1. I have a few questions. 1. What is the significance of Liquidfuel? I understand all of the others (i.e. kerosene) but I don't see what Liquidfuel resembles in real life (if anything). 2. What is the difference between liquid oxygen and oxidizer? Wikipedia says that LOx is an oxidizer but in the mod, oxidizers significantly less dense. 3. In the FAQs early in this thread I noticed the word "preform" (i.e. "Liquid Hydrogen is the highest benchmark. Highest performance, but least dense"). Am I correct in assuming that good "performance" means a high TWR and density refers to mass per volume (as opposed to energy per volume)? 4. I cannot launch anything other than the liquid fuel and oxidizer mixture. Picture a setup: -MK-1 Command Pod -FL-T400 Fuel tank filled with kerolox (1000 Liters of Kerosene and 1000 Liters of LOx) -LV-T30 Engine I go to launch but I get a flame-out. Cause: Oxodizer deprived. I do notice that the Engine lacks the 0.14 charge it wants. My command pod however has 515 electrical charge. I go back to VAB. Replace LOx with Oxidizer. Go back to launch, still a flame-out, but this time I am "LiquidFuel deprived". I have the same electrical charge problem. P.S. I know that my ratio for kerolox probably isn't ideal, but I have no idea what I'm doing. Rocket Science is hard.
