XCOR Develops Methane Rocket

Those rocket scientists at XCOR Aerospace (the group that helped create the EZ-Rocket) have done it again, by creating a 50-pound thrust rocket engine fueled by methane and liquid oxygen.

In my opinion, the best part about XCOR is also what makes it an investor's dream come true: They only use non-toxic fuels (kerosene being one of the worst things they use--others are ethane, methane, liquid oxygen, N2O and alcohol.) None of that deadly poisonous rocket fuel just about everyone else uses.

It's also important to note, this company has only been around since 1999 and already has made substantial improvements in rocket engine efficiency, safety, mobility and reliability.
Keep an eye on these people...they are definitely going places.
