Mix in a little Halon as well. That should put a stop to that little fire in a hurry. [/quote] Since they have their navigation and control systems spot on, I'd figure that a nitrogen flooding system at the pad might work and save the weight of any on-board system. This problem would not happen on the moon or Mars, since there's not enough atmosphere or O2 to sustain combustion. [/quote] Agreed. Can't imagine why they haven't done so already. If they need a good cryogenic engineer, I am available. :) [/quote]
