Hydrazine's got it all. It's toxic, it's corrosive, it's carcinogenic, it's highly flammable, it's vapour is explosive at a wide range of concentrations in air and it's hypergolic with a variety of common industrial and household materials. Hydrazine is why you should never approach spent booster stages - as found out the hard way by many soviet-era peasants.You know who love spontaneously combustible materials? I do. That's why there's a remote detonator stuck to the bottom of the tank.
When folks talk about 'green' rocket fuels what they really mean is 'anything but fecking hydrazine.'
