The article focuses on methane-fueled rockets. Several benefits of using methane as a rocket fuel are discussed, including less soot and superior propulsion performance than fuels such as kerosene. Details related to the financial benefits of using methane-fueled rockets are also presented, including reduced launch costs per pound. Several U.S. companies experimenting with methane-fueled rockets are discussed, including XCOR Aerospace of Mojave, California and KT Engineering of Huntsville, Alabama. INSET: LOOKING FOR LESS MESS.
