Your Worst Chemical Nightmare

YouTube video titled "the Best Performing (and most dangerous) Chemical Rocket Ever."  Rocketdyne experimented with a liquid lithium metal and fluorine gas rocket with liquid hydrogen thrown in to improve performance.  This video has some truly dazzling video (spraying cold fluorine gas on brick, for example).  I am glad NASA never gave Rocketdyne a contract to make this engine.
