As i have mentioned before on MPL, I know next to nothing about rockets, but this video of NASA testing a new rocket fueled by methane was pretty cool. The gist of the write up goes into why they are exploring methane as an option, which include that's it's easier to work with than more traditional rocket fuels and that it can be sustained and created off planet, meaning that they are able to make pit stops on other planets to harvest methane and refuel.
The video is pretty brief, it shows the rocket igniting and has a very beautiful blue flame.
