rocket The most vital component of any rocket is the propellant, which accounts for 90% to 95% of the rocket's total weight. A propellant consists of two elements, a fuel and an oxidant; engines that are based on the action-reaction principle and that use air instead of carrying their own oxidant are properly called jets.

A Look At Rising Helium Prices In Selling Off The Nation’s Helium Reserve, NAS projected a 2.6 percent increase in the price of crude helium every year through 2015. This would place the 2013 price right around $69.93/Mcf, and the price in 2015 at $73.62/Mcf. Instead, the increase since 2010 has averaged 6.4 percent per year. At this rate, the 2015 open market price of crude helium would be in excess of $95/Mcf. Despite the fact that Richardson has been quoted as saying a party balloon should cost $100, he has testified before congress saying that “price shocks” can be damaging for users of helium.
