I know that you cant talk about solid fule but can we talk about liquid things? I wont type it all out but it is about liquid NO2 and meat.

why would you want to freeze your "meat"

lol, it is for a rocket. The meat is a oxidozior.

Actually, it's the other way around. N20 is the oxidizer and the meat is the fuel (contains carbon). Sugar is probably a better choice.
AND WOULD PEOPLE STOP CALLING N2O "NO2" ?!

Sry about that that is what I ment, but the meat does work, you coat the meat in some hair spray and add some liquid N20 and you have a rocket.

the confederate army rocket episode used N2O and wax i think and it flew pretty well, and i think i remember the meat rocket just blowing up, or was that something else?
also i remember a daily planet episode, they showed a small plane using pure O2 and alcohol.

it was a tiny glider modified with a rocket engine which was basically 2 pressurized tanks, a combustion chamber and a nozzle

I know that liquid O2 and liquid H2 work really well in a rocket engine, but how well do you think gaseous H2 and O2 work, its just that Ive heard that performance takes a pit fall once it becomes gaseous since its not nearly as dense as in liquid form.
"i think i remember the meat rocket just blowing up"
Ya the rocket exploded when it was test fired.

"meat rocket go boom"
Ah, so it preformed <i>better</i> than they expected, and their nozzle throat was too small.
It's not like it doesn't happen all the time...

Was it successful and if so was it remote controlled?
