Where can you get heat sheilding and rocket motors for a europa though
graham??

But on a slightly more serious note, IF the tanks havent been flourine
treated
would it be possible to apply a coating to the inside of the tank before its
installed, or maybe
sprayed into in-situ tanks that havent been filled yet, such as a
vinyl-ester resin which may
atleast slow the whole process down to give the existing tanks a reasonable
service life

Hi Bob
apreciate your thoughtful reply.
I wish they wouldn't put alcohol in though, It isn't good for engines
and it is even worse for the environment, takes too much energy to make
it and it uses up too much food, (imho!)
Simple answer, there are already too many of us on this planet, we need
to start colonising space!
