Finally we can make an MSM-03 Gogg
- basically my thoughts lol (probably just going to be another missile tho)
Save me, Xi
I thought Boron was a dead end because its oxide is liquid below 1,860 °C

  looks like boron reacts with water at 700-800 C so maybe they run cooler in water to avoid liquid oxide?
