Oh, lawsy.  I just had a flashback to a book I read in the late Sixties, sf about a rocket base.  Most of it I've forgotten, but there was a nightmarish portion about losing one of their rockets.  The narrator speculated that the fuel, which was acidic and under super-high pressure, had somehow leaked out of one or more tanks and then boiled into the control cabin.  Yeah, the rocket in the story was manned....  I had some unpleasant dreams about that for a while.
