The RDX was just a off the cuff remark regarding a compound that has a great deal of explosive energy for it’s low weight and volume. about twice that of TNT and it’s totally stable as it is. You can light it on fire and it burns good. Like a powered up up plastic.

But it can be played with to do all sorts of burn rates for different applications. It just no good in space....too cold I guess...

Just saying that I have seen other chemicals with a lot of punch for the size and weight of it and they can be controlled.

***And ANY chemical would have at least 10x less energy density than what was measured. ANY chemical.
