A long time ago when I was still subscribed to a youth science mag there was
an article that described a plan to freeze a big ball of hydrogen at Jupiter
and attach it to a ship that would use it for fuel. Or perhaps it was
deuterium so they could use fusion. I forget the details, it's been 25 odd
years or so :-)
In any case, that was a humongo snow-cone rocket ship using frozen fuel
without an outer tank.
