Bombardier Beetle natural pulse detonation rocket
Bombardier beetle has a natural hydroquinones-H2O2 pulse detonation rocket used for self-defense.
An Italian team is copying this natural rocket, for a lightweight green propellant pulse detonation rocket for satellites.

Re: Bombardier Beetle natural pulse detonation rocket
With apologies in advance (I am aware of my lack of qualifications in this manner). I would be interested in:
-How they plan to synthesize their chemicals.
-If Photo Organisms that could be grown in bags of water at the freezing point could be crafted to synthesize those chemicals.
A lot of good things came from observing nature.
