Well yes, but that stuff contained hydrazine. It's not that sensationalist.
I'm just surprised the people making it didn't get jail time.
Yeah, this ain't "dihydrogen monoxide lol11!", hydrazine is really really nasty stuff.
They can say it included a highly toxic chemical. Whether or not it's used in rocket fuel is completely irrelevant.
They could say that, but a primary use for hydrazine is rocket fuel, so I'm not sure why I should find the headline outrageous.
Because we're not talking about making rockets - we're talking about water.
Some mushrooms contain hydrazine (Gyromitra esculenta), just because its used as rocket fuel doesn't mean IT'S rocket fuel.
Legitimately serious chemical, but the "cOnTaInEd cHeMiCaL iN rOcKeT fUeL" bit of the headline is sensationalist clickbait.
On the contrary, hydrazine is nasty stuff. If anything, the headline missed out on being more sensational than it could be.
