Program that iterates to compute an SSTO rocket's dry and wet mass (and other parameters).

Compile with gcc -O2 -Wall rocket_mass.c -o rocket_mass -lm for normal use, and add -DMAKE_GRAPH after gcc on the command line if you want to create graph data as visible on the first approximations page.

The output indicates the ground value now. This is still version 3.
