Hydrogen peroxide powers rockets?

Question

Did you know that Russian 3 stage intercontenental ballistic missles use hydrogen peroxide for fuel?

the very same stuff we buy at the store for 43 cents a bottle. Unaltered.

I don't remember where I learned that.

The concept I drew from it was that if we could produce a combustion engine with hp then we could modify a current engine to do the same. Considering the force necessary to break atmosphere a small engine should be very powerfull in comparison to oil combustion.
