Regrettably, if you follow this line of thinking, there is no asteroid mining, ever, because it is actually tectonic and biological processes.that concentrate minerals to payable quantities and so on.
As asteroid mining is both cool and part of canon, mumble mumble science handwave handwave. mumble mumble.
Flammable and toxic - a good combination to have aboard ship... ;-)
Leonard et al,
Seriously, to all who've replied, this is one of the GREAT things about the TML - the body of Traveller players who *think* about this stuff and take the time to reply.
I tend to lurk (in my old age I'm finally learning not to talk when I really have nothing to add) but I read just about everything posted here and it's all useful in one manner or another...
Thanks!

Ammonia is both flammable (nthough it's not easy easy to ignite as
methane) and *toxic*.
