They're both prop, one is fuel, one is oxidizer (and yes I know that you meant RP-1 is loaded first at T-70, then LOx at T-45).

Also, the webcasts are live!

LOL... It is fun fighting with worthy combatants! You are correct, I was incorrect about prop. Both the fuel and the oxidizer are involved with propulsion.

The webcasts are about to go live; currently they're playing music. :smile:

Edit: And now the webcasts are live.
