Next came the tricky second stage, a single 225,000-lb.-thrust engine powered by an exotic combination of liquid oxygen (lox) and liquid hydrogen (LH2). While lox boils off at a difficult -290° F., LH2 boils at -423° F., thus requires extreme pressurization to keep cool. Moreover, in weightless space, LH2, like mercury, tends to gather into a ball or spin...
