   In fact, some folks of my acquaintance who've actually *worked* with both   
   describe peroxide as "room-temperature LOX".   
      
   The single biggest practical difference between the two is simply that   
   there are commercial LOX suppliers in every city, while rocket-grade   
   peroxide is virtually impossible for a small operator to get.
