The possibilities of employing methane as a fuel for rockets have the potential to radically overhaul the space industry in multifarious ways.

Primarily, as aforementioned, methane embodies a more ecologically friendly fuel source than traditional rocket fuels. If implemented, the utilization of methane-powered rockets has the capability of reducing the carbon footprint of space exploration, which has heretofore been an industry notorious for its pollutant output.

Secondly, methane has greater accessibility than certain other rocket fuels, such as liquid hydrogen. Methane is derived from a plethora of sources, ranging from natural gas to renewable sources such as biomass and waste. This denotes that the production and distribution of methane as a rocket fuel can be more stable and less dependent on particular geographic locations.

Thirdly, the potential for methane-powered rockets to be more efficient and cost-effective than traditional rockets is a plausible reality. Due to its increased density relative to hydrogen, methane can be stored in smaller tanks, and requires less insulation to maintain a suitable temperature. This can lead to decreased launch costs and facilitate the execution of more frequent space missions.

Finally, the possibilities of methane-powered rockets affords the potential for lengthier and more ambitious space missions, notably to destinations like Mars. Methane can be synthesized on Mars utilizing the planet's abundant carbon dioxide atmosphere and water ice. Consequently, methane-powered rockets could potentially refuel and return to Earth or proceed to other destinations in the solar system.

Taken together, the implementation of methane as a rocket fuel holds the promise of a revolutionary transformation within the space industry. It has the potential to make space exploration more sustainable, cost-effective, and ambitious than ever before.

One reason Starship uses methane (I'm sure there are more) is that it can be synthesized on Mars from the C02 in the atmosphere to fuel return flights. It's a critical requirement.

Love the towering starship at the end though I would love to see both Starship Block 1 and Srarship Block 2

Methane is a good compromise between hydrogen and RP-1 (kerosene). The specific impulse achieved with methane is between that achievable with hydrogen and that achievable with RP-1, while the energy density per unit volume of liquid methane is much closer to that of RP-1 than it is to bulky hydrogen. Congrats to SpaceX for getting the full-flowed staged combustion cycle to work on its Raptor Methalox engines.

Stoke may be the smallest but they are definitely cooler than half the competition.

The Atlanta Falcons have a quarterback named Michael Penix...
Imagine if all these Rockets were Penix...
Yes, I'm a proud cunning linguist.... ❤

Methane Burns hot and can be quite expensive even when it burns as Rocket 🚀 fuel ⛽️ explosive 🤔🌎

Esa Ariane Themis cost lot, but Prometheus (rocket engine) is open cycle, It's a conservative solution, less efficient, probably they have problems with steel alloys.

Zhuque 2 is the world's first methane rocket to reach space. And Longmarch 9 is one of the largest methane rockets in the world with a height of 114 meters and a diameter of 10.6 meters.❤

When are we gonna stop using rockets? Come on now, that’s ancient technology!

I want kerosene rockets to make a comeback. There is 2.5x energy in one gallon of kerosene compared to one gallon of liquified natural gas, yet kerosene only weighs 1.5x more than LNG.

Where's Falcon 9 ? The launch work horse of the free world 🌎 Put more satellites in orbit than all those combined.
