Distilling and handling high concentration H2O2 is dangerous business. Even cautious pros can get surprised in a bad way, just as Burt Rutan.

Glad serious amateur rocketeers aren’t knuckling under to the authorities and are still pushing back the frontiers of cheap space access.

I've seen that elsewhere, and have posted that on FR before. It is too bad about those drawbacks. :') But commercial (and expensive) sources are available, and I'm sure someone is working on something like Bob's design.
