I did not know this. So it's even easier than I thought to sabotage a rocket launch. Thanks for replying--I would have gone to my grave not even considering the fact that rocket fuel has oxidizers mixed in, but the search you just sent me on set me straight.

It's not mixed-in, it's in a separate tank. But since the tank is an aluminum alloy (often with copper or lithium mixed in) these days, I wonder about its behavior in the presence of an ignition source (some magnesium in the bullet or perhaps even just friction?).
