Liquid rocket engines use tanks to store liquid propellants and oxidizers that combust in a vacuum, producing thrust through a nozzle. The document examines four propellants - hydrogen and oxygen, methylhydrazine, N-dodecane, and ethanol. Hydrogen produces the most energy but must be cryogenically stored. Methylhydrazine is hypergolic and reacts on contact. N-dodecane is similar to kerosene and produces the highest thrust safely. Considering safety, emissions and thrust, the author recommends a multi-stage rocket with hydrogen first and N-dodecane second for greenhouse gas-free and powerful thrust.
