Yeah, only LOX is really super cooled. I think there were other silly mistakes in the webcast like them saying it will use multiple engines to land etc.Falcon 9 v1.1:LOX: ~ -180CRP-1: ambient, ~ 21CFalcon 9 Full Thrust:LOX: -206C (~9.9% density increase versus v1.1)RP-1: -6.6C (2.6% density increase v1.1)Angara:LOX: -180CRP-1: -15C (density increase 3.4% vs ambient 21C)So they could go even colder for RP-1 but not a whole lot of difference. LOX is where the big gains can be made and that is what they did.Not official yet but there is a possibility for an attempt tomorrow.

Falcon 9 v1.1:
LOX: ~ -180C
RP-1: ambient, ~ 21C
Falcon 9 Full Thrust:
LOX: -206C (~9.9% density increase versus v1.1)
RP-1: -6.6C (2.6% density increase v1.1)
Angara:
LOX: -180C
RP-1: -15C (density increase 3.4% vs ambient 21C)
