You sir, are blathering complete nonsense. Or science fiction magic
fantasys. And while I enjoy reading them, this list is for science
based on reality, not wishes.
What makes you think that frozen oxygen won't react and start
sublimating and expanding rapidly when the heat from the pucture
enters this brick?
And how, pray tell, do you plan on keeping this brick COLD in the
first place? You need to bring it down to *at least* 56.2 degrees
Kelvin. And keep it there. How do you propose this to be done?
Now if you want to speculate on how to design a rocket with current
technology for reliability and tolerance to damage (either self
inflicted like Apollo 13 or external like you propose) then do so with
at least *some* BotE calculations and assumptions that pass the smell
test. Or the *buy at the hardware store* test.
Sheesh,
John
