An extremely stupid idea

Yup, Ignition! is a great book 

Why not just the FLiH system but replace H with B5H9 & replace Li with Cs?

Oh and add (CH3)2Hg to reduce performance!

I mean, if you want the most immoral rocket engine ever, just make one that burns dried humans - or puppies

I thought the above made for a nice contribution to this thread.

Depending on your stance (O/T), to maximum immorality density you may want to burn viable fertilized human embryos.

Or only collections of the last mating pair of nearly extinct species. Or only the last remaining extant copy of ancient historical works (eg burning the Herculaenum scrolls as propellant). Or works of fine art ("Louvrelox").

In this vein, if instead we optimize for maximum sapient suffering, we should look to disability-adjusted life years, which tells us that experts consider blindness the second-worst impact on wellbeing (behind only dementia).

A Starship/Super Heavy fueled by dehydrated human eyeballs (7.5g each, 80% water) should require blinding about a quarter billion people to fuel a single launch. That sounds... pretty bad. The worst propellant, could it be?


"And lo, the sightless hoard roamed the desolation, fated never to glimpse the heavenly wonders of their making, blackness begetting blackness, and void being the price of Void."


Okay well I'm gonna go...  like... touch grass or something.
