The record application still has a line asking about testing the fuel for tetranitromethane.
Is that still actually done? If so, how? If not, are records approved anyway? In addition to speed, this "rule" seems to apply to all control line.
"Tetra" was a mythical German rocket fuel that (according to legend) somebody used to break all the speed records, then got it banned. All this was supposedly in the 1950's, way before my time. But still, the "tetra test" is on the record form.
Does anybody have any direct knowledge that this stuff still exists, or ever did?
If not, maybe it's time to stop testing for it.
