The test bench caught fire twice, deliciously.
Our propulsion team spent a quarter comparing fuels the way serious agencies do: with clipboards, slow-motion cameras and a designated extinguisher officer named Rui.
Findings
- Extra virgin: 12% more thrust, notes of pepper and rosemary on ignition.
- Virgin: stable burn, acceptable aroma, pairs well with re-entry.
- Blended: the committee refuses to discuss the blended incident.
The neighbours now attend every static fire with bread.
Safety note: the exhaust plume is technically a vinaigrette hazard. Salads downwind season themselves, which the village considers a feature.
Conclusion: viable, fragrant, and the propulsion budget is now indistinguishable from the canteen budget. We call this synergy.
