Oxides don't work as oxidizers in rocket propellant...and wax is not a very good solid rocket fuel.

How about water injection into a cc with Na metal?

I replaced the CuO with KNO3 and I found it hard to mix as the KNO3 moved to the botom of the pot but i stired it as it cooled. When I used it it worke well for a few seconds untill a glob of wax came flying out...i think its because the het produced melts the wax farther up and cuases the hole chunk to come out. As for Nasa that was a hybrid rockit man.
