Original Note:
The SpaceX Merlin (active use) and Kestrel (retired) rocket engines burn kerosene, resulting in black soot. The newer SpaceX Raptor engine (which will power the Starship system) burns methane, which does not produce black soot. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/SpaceX_rocket_engines https://www.popularmechanics.com/science/green-tech/a39353989/green-hydrogen-plant-could-fuel-spacex-rockets/
