Never mind SF_every great or small realization stems from fantasy
concept(s), what else?
Maybe I missed it in previous emails on tankless solid H2 (protected by a
sunscreen) but how is such massive naked chunk going to be launched to orbit
or to space?
Some sort of levitation? Gun launch?

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
