The main engines of the space shuttle run on hydrogen and oxygen reacting together to produce water.

The boosters use ammonium perchlorate and aluminum (they do produce a little CO2 from the polymer binder, but it is not the primary fuel).

If anything, it is a vision of the future in its use of hydrogen.
