Alum is a water soluble substance having a general formula of AB(SO4)2·12H2O. It has a monovalent cation and a trivalent metal ion as essential components in its chemical composition. There are two types of alum as ferric alum and non-ferric alum. The main difference between ferric alum and non-ferric alum is that ferric alum is manufactured from bauxite whereas non-ferric alum is manufactured from aluminum trihydrate.

Alum Alloy is an pleonasm.

Airships in space! aerohead should note that the hypersonic airfoil is 'faster backwards'. I can't get past the fact that the plasma actuators are on the leading edge instead of trailing.

But OTOH, Elon Musk wants to go to Mars, John Powell just wants to retrieve the Hubble Space Telescope and put it in a museum.
