41. Spaceship Fuel and Storage • The VG spaceship uses a relatively inert, almost asphalt-like materialas the solid fuel.  Flash point is just over 400 degrees F, not much of a safety concern. VG and N.M. Fire Marshal will be meeting to resolve any potential problems. • When you add the oxidizer (nitrous oxide) and an ignition source, thenyou get a spectacular reaction.  Current plan (NMSA and VG) wouldhave the solid fuel rocket motor mounted to the spacecraft inside thehangar (at full operation, likely no more than 3-4 in the hangar at atime).  The spaceship mated to the carrier plane, would then be rolledout onto the apron, to a designated fueling area at a yetundetermined distance from the building, where both the jet-a fuel forthe carrier plane and the nitrous oxide for the spaceship would beloaded.The combined craft would then taxi to the astronaut loading point, loadup, and head to the runway for takeoff.If there is some reason to abort, for safety reasons, standard operating procedures would keep the techs or pilots from returning the combined craft back to the hangar, fully fueled.
