Latex (latex rubber) is the fuel. You'll have to go to the ENCYLOPEDIA ASTRONAUTICA website and do some surfing on your own to learn more on different types of propellant & propellant combinations & motors to learn advantages and disadvantages of each.

(i.e. hybrid latex-NOX rocket motors, the reason for the bad choice thought, etc) Unlike other space enthusiasts in my age group, I don't plan to get all my information from hearsay and/or Wikipedia I know that NOX is some sort of rocket fuel. Everything else is news to me. Speaking as the only young geeky space enthusiast here, could you please speak in detail on a few thing you’ve covered her?

To be fair, he doesn't have that much say in things at this point. Speaking on behalf of a few people who have done considerably more than handle greasy wrenches, I don’t think he did.
