hypergolic propellants are a nasty business especially when you've got a RUD that spills all over the vicinities nearby.

Irony of ironies, the father of the Chinese rocket program was here in the US before WWII supporting our programs (he co-founded NASA's JPL) when he was deported after the McCarthy witch hunts of the early 1950's. Our xenophobia sent him into the arms of what became the Mao communist regime.
