- Info created by NASA - uploaded & nominated by Originalwana (talk) 16:41, 8 July 2010 (UTC)
- InfoThis rocket engine is fueled by a mixture of -182.8 Celsius liquid oxygen and -252.8 Celsius liquid hydrogen. The engine components are super-cooled to similar low temperatures. As CECE burns its frigid fuels, gas composed of hot steam is produced and propelled out the nozzle creating thrust. The steam is cooled by the cold engine nozzle, condensing and eventually freezing at the nozzle exit to form icicles. (youtube video of the rocket engine being tested)

- Oppose Interesting, but the distortion is to great for me to vote {{Support}}. --The High Fin Sperm Whale 18:39, 8 July 2010 (UTC)
- Oppose Besides distortion, the tight crop is k.o. criteria for me. I'm well aware that maybe there wasn't enough space inside the test set-up and the minimum of an applicable focal length was exhausted (no exifs) but the composition still looks unappealing for my taste. • Richard • [®] • 21:27, 8 July 2010 (UTC)
