Craig thinks any propellant that doesn't give him the warm fuzzies as
being 100.0000% safe is unacceptable for use in a manned spacecraft, so he
was objecting to the methanol used in some of the ionic-liquid monoprops.
Never mind that his own examples of "human rated" propellants so far have
all been things which you *really* don't want in your air or splattered
around your cabin. There are hardly any useful propellants, and certainly
no useful oxidizers, which aren't aggressive enough to kill you somehow, a
fact that he hasn't figured out yet. The answer to this, of course, is to
do your engineering properly so that the propellants don't *get* into your
air or your cabin.
