I'm neither a rocket scientist nor chemist, but my understanding is
that the combustion product of Hydrogen and Oxygen (I'm ass-u-me-ing
the rockets are using Oxygen as the oxidizer) is water and I suspect
that is about as "non-polluting" as it gets.
Unless perhaps we start talking about things like rails and
"beanstalks" and the like, but then those aren't devices using "rocket
fuel" right?
