Which is why some F9 and FH missions don't recover, and have the recovery hardware removed. | |
May 10, 2023 at 23:56 | comment | added | Mark | @RussellBorogove, it would be more interesting to know if the actual formulation of RP-1 has changed. RP-1 doesn't call for a specific combination of ingredients; rather, it places limits on what's allowed to be present. | |
