imho yes. most propellant powders contain oxygen in one 
way or another.

if a sun shines on it, maybe. if not itīs fucking cold 
and the lube might as well freeze.

temperature changes should change performance a little, 
high pressure or low pressure(usualyy with lower gravity 
as well) a lot.

god only knows. for all i know nobody took a g11 into 
space, but why shouldnīt it go boom from the inside
