Additional Note: I am aware that the fluid in the main Skylon heat exchanger micropipes is actually Helium that has been cooled in another heat exchanger with cryogenic hydrogen. Couldn't find an elegant way to word it that flowed, so that's why I said it's hydrogen in the pipes. Call me out on anything else you find!
