Don’t touch it. Rocket fuel is nasty stuff.

Worse than moose bites.

I think these things were filled with hydrogen peroxide.

They would release jets of gas to alter the positioning of the satellite. It was not really a rocket burn.

“Don’t touch it. Rocket fuel is nasty stuff.”

Would not re-entry heat sanitize the surfaces?

Correct. Hydrazine—specifically unsymmetrical dimethyl hydrazine—is a particularly nasty substance. Not only extremely toxic, but also extremely flammable. Many years ago, when a Southern Pacific train carrying hydrazine derailed in southern California, they literally had to cordon off almost a mile radius because of the fear the hydrazine might ignite in a spectacular fashion.

Nah, it's fine. C-stoff and bourbon with a splash of ginger and dash of clove. Delish!
