I assume they were exploring aluminum powder combustion as a rocket fuel. While aluminum oxide is abundant in the Earth’s crust and may the most common surface metal; it is also found as deposits in brains with dementia. Nobody knows if this is correlative or causative, but for awhile the banning of aluminum cookware was considered. Regardless, I don’t want to breath aerosolized aluminum oxide generated as an aviation byproduct.
