Genius Solution! SpaceX Starship fuel performance compared to hydrogen, methane, propane…
The rocket industry is on a fast track of expansion, constantly evolving its technologies to meet the demands of new designs and more intricate mission goals. Amid this evolution, a significant spotlight shines on improving rocket fuel. Aerospace organizations are searching for cost-effective, powerful, and efficient options to fine-tune their vehicles.
Back in the early days of aerospace, kerosene was the top pick for fuel. Even today, it remains a primary choice for some renowned rockets like SpaceX’s Falcon 9 and Falcon Heavy, ULA’s Atlas V, and Rocket Lab’s Electron.
When compared to newer fuels like methane, hydrogen, and propane, kerosene falls short in several aspects. It’s more costly because it lacks recyclability, needing multiple filtration and distillation steps from crude oil to become the final product. Notably, kerosene isn’t environmentally friendly due to its emission of gases, particularly carbon monoxide, which contributes to the greenhouse effect. Its efficiency also trails behind other fuels. Additionally, burning kerosene produces coking or deposits that could block engine nozzles and the base of the combustion chamber, leading to reduced performance or even engine failure. These drawbacks, among others, have prompted a gradual shift away from kerosene in favor of newer, more advanced fuels.

"Greenhouse effects" are a hoax and I know that I'll hear a bunch of crap about that statement. The planet has experienced high levels of "greenhouse" gases in the past and the planet thrived.
It's Cocaine, not coking
Propane creates more CO2 than methane! I creates less than kerosene, but more than methane, look at the carbon to hydrogen ratio.
Although always interesting, I do not believe Propane will supplant Methane as the primary fuel source for the reusable launch systems so far developed worldwide. However, that said, I do think we will transition to a fission-based propulsion system for on-orbit operations in fairly short order (5-10 years?).
Thank you again for broaching yet another area of critical knowledge in the process of educating this next generation. Please keep doing this great work. Patching all the holes in our understanding of these evolving fundamental technologies is no small undertaking. The list of subjects is endless, yet each area is equally important, and a piece of the larger puzzle mankind must traverse to achieve its goal of living among the stars. Bravo!!!! 🧐🤔🚀🤖
You can't produce Hydrogen on Mars but you can easily produce methane so that is the reason for the choice, you should know that.
Still wailing for the elevator. just saying
Thanks enjoyed watching 👍👍
H2 “relatively” low boiling point….close to absolute zero. Significant, not relative.
Everything with C that you burn will make CO2. Get over it! Plants will absorb the CO2 and grow.
When NASA crack the Nuclear Powered propulsion systems will it be powerful enough to land a Starship on Mars? I think they'd still need the extra boost of chemical rockets to slow the ascent.
The combustion of propane produces more CO2 than methane.
Carbon monoxide is no player in this game, you mean carbon dioxide.
Hydrogen molecules are so small no substance on the planet is truly hydrogen tight. Hydrogen will seep out between the atoms of the crystal lattice of any known substance.
You shouldn't worry so much about CO2 emissions. During the time of the dinosaurs CO2 levels were TWENTY TIMES as high as today and the planet didn't go all Venus.
Beautiful picture of the exterior of the combustion chamber at 2:43+ ! Thank you much ! Please tell us how it's made.
All you Asians who run this channel should look at all the white boys running SpaceX. And who are you anyways? You look like you just got off the boat from China. (Check out their "about us"). Where did you all get your engineering degrees from? Kung pao U? It only figures the kids would follow a Chinese channel about SpaceX.
Excellent stuff bro
0:48 – Newer fuels 'hydrogen' LOL hardly new. Also, Re environmental impacts your commentary fails to consider the energy/environmental cost of production.
Propane is not spelt propene
Propane generates more CO/CO2 than methane
Methane is the major component of biogas making it sustainable; propane?
ALL Combustion releases CO2!
ALL COMBUSTION.
CO2 is NOT a pollutant.
Kerosene does not emit large amounts of Carbon Monoxide. This would only occur if the combustion process was incomplete. This is the same for any carbon based fuel like, propane, methane, butane, gasoline… etc.
Oh wow, where do I even start? Some interesting stuff in there but methane and propane are portrayed totally wrong. Methane is a cryofuel, propane is not. Propane is much easier to store but harder to get and very hard to synthesize in space. Done the right way, methane is not only net-zero-carbon. It's even carbon-negative. I would go for methane for its many advantages but propane is still a great fuel.
Propene != Propane
Propane is a less efficient fuel than methane and hydrogen because it produces a lot of heavy CO2 molecules when burnt and has lower exhaust speeds.
SpaceX opted for methane because of its similar melting point as 02 and the fact it can be manufactured on Mars.
How many times do you have to mention "the plant food" CO2 in the video?
Video titled, "Genius Solution! SpaceX Starship fuel performance compared to hydrogen, methane, propane".
How can methane be compared to methane?
Check you science! The environmental impact of producing and purification for fuels offsets their environmental benefits when you use them.
😮😊Follow ships
NASA's nuclear propulsion might work well for a non-atmospheric transfer vessel, operating only in interplanetary space. Still requires MethaLox for Mars or Earth non-radioactive waste generating landings and liftoffs.
You can skip last 2 minutes 😛
Your graphic showed Carbon Monoxide when you meant Carbon Dioxide. Propane also produces Carbon Dioxide, just as Methane does. Some of the Chemistry explanations need fixed here.
Really not sure where you get the idea of reduced emissions from propane vs methane. Nothing in their comparable chemical structure favors one over the other, except propane is a denser fuel. They are both light molecular weight alkanes. They both combust to CO2 and water vapor.
Propane has more carbon, thus creating more CO and CO2, not that these are the problem that the propagandists would have us believe it to be. [They] can't have easy space access, uncontrolled by them, to become available to us.
Notice how the Chinese space program came out of nothing in the 1990s to what it is today. Experts at making copies, they have bought the tech in illegal deals with people who have sold us out. Road blocks slow our space programs, while they make their attempt to take over the Solar System; all by design.
Propane burns into CO2 and H2O, its chemical formula is C3H8. Get off the globule warming caused by CO2, that is a phony claim. 0.04 percent is not enough to change the temperature of the earth. If there is actually global warming, it is a natural pronominal.
Interesting comparison! I had not heard of propane being used as a rocket fuel. Very early rockets used gasoline or alcohol as a fuel. Hydrogen is not new as the Saturn upper stages used it. BTW “Propane” was misspelled as “Propene” 3 times in your video.
ERROR! At t=3:35 your graphic shows PROPENE vs. methane. PROPENE (C3H6) is not PROPANE (C3H8)
Please get a better editor who will check your homework for you
P.S. Blocking your channel.
Dangerous greenhouse gas is a scam idea. Ignore it.
More errors! Your video says burning methane generates CO2, but not propane? Any decent high school chemistry class should teach a student that burning any hydrocarbon, CxHx + x(O2) = x(CO2) + x(H2O) + heat! (assuming complete combustion)
Don't matter what you use there is no gas stations in space.

Thank you
Thank you from Philippines
And thank you from Belgium
propane makes CO2 dude just like methane and one is CH4 the other is C3H8 so 1.5 times the CO2 product per H2O. quick wiki next time maybe
Because Methane can be produced, supposedly, on Mars
The Mars argument is most silly, because chemical rockets alltogether are insufficient for crewed mars missions.
Wow—it’s hard to fit so many factually incorrect claims in such a short video. Impressive!
If continuous, run on sentences was a YouTube channel….
Carbon monoxide is pretty much NOT a green house gas. Overall a rather pathetic video.
