   Please go back and re-read =ALL= of Henry Spencer's many, many postings   
   on the _UTTER STUPIDITY_ of using Gross Lift-Off Weight as a figure of merit,   
   and the _UTTER STUPIDITY_ of speading enormous sums of money on hardware   
   to save a bit of LOX, when LOX is one of the cheapest industrial chemicals   
   you can find on Earth, until you =FINALLY= understand what he is saying,   
   and the truth of it exterminates your false ideas and wishful thinking.
