Which is a better Rocket fuel liquid or soild ?


Depends, like most things. A solid motor is much simpler in design. Liquids deliver higher ISP. The shuttle uses both, for instance, to maximize the benefits from each.

Do you have a specific application context?

Beige. I think I'll paint the ceiling beige.

Sometimes, one is better than the other, sometimes it's the other way around.

For plastic bottle rockets, liquid is better.

Yea team. This is the culmination of years, nay, decades of work by Gary Rosenfield and Bill Stine.

Big congrats.
