Shortly before I left the Air Force Academy (civilian) we got funding approved to develop biofuels for rocket engines. Funds evaporated in subsequent government nonsense (sequester, etc.). But the point is there is interest in the Air Force relating to biofuel based rockets.

If you can figure out which plant back there will burn really, really fast when combined with an oxidizer or even better, one that has a naturally occurring oxidizer, then the sciences of marsh vegetation and rocketry could at long last be united.
