Not true. I once witnessed a physics demonstration where three tanks were set up in an armoured room. The three tanks were filled with Gasoline, Propane (Natural Gas), and Hydrogen.
The only one that exploded was the gasoline. That's why natural gas is used throughout modern society, it's much much safer.
People shouldn't take the Halo books as completely serious. The author doesn't underestand physics. He also includes "Flash Freezing" when someone is exposed to the vacuum of space. Space is NOT cold. Space is not hot. Vacuum is the perfect insulator, that's why it's used in your thermos. Most of NASA's spacesuits are given over to cooling down the astronaut, not heating him.
as some other people have stated in other posts, this is a science fiction game, some of the stuff in the game is just not probable as it is, just go with the flow here, give some ideas, it would just be fun to see what would happen, stop getting so technical about it.
