Nobody really knows what AMSOC did, because it wasn't a real organization. The "rules" were that anyone who applied for membership automatically became a founding member and that whenever there were two members in the same place, they could take any initiative in AMSOC's name without consulting other members. According to John Knauss, "Two of AMSOC’s earliest committees were one to inform animals of their proper taxonomic classification and another seeking to establish groups around the world prepared to greet visitors from outer space." The organization only became "real" briefly in the late 50s and early 60s for the first phase of Project Moho. One thing the group is still remembered for is the Albatross award, which was an actual taxidermied albatross that they gave to people for various reasons. The first group to receive the award was the three people who came up with the idea.

So just active cooling won't work, but rocket engines also have to be mass efficient. Mass doesn't matter here.
