Hydrogen Peroxide Use in Medical and Rocketry Applications

So, what this Hydrogen Peroxide have to do with programming? Well, nothing actually. At least nothing directly related. It's just I can't keep this thing in my mind so it's better to write it out.

I went to a doctor to treat my wound and I found out that he used H2O2 (Hydrogen Peroxide) to clean the wound. I found it rather surprising because I didn't know H2O2 is also used as "cleaning agent" in medical application previously. All I knew about H2O2 was it's use in rocketry (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Armadillo_Aerospace).

If you look at http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hydrogen_peroxide. This chemical compound has a lot of uses. Still, it's just incredible to think that you can use the same compound to treat your wound and to do rocketry.
