If we didnt have propellants in the world then we wouldnt be able to have any kind of weapons and rockets that went very far. We would never have set foot on the moon and we would have no idea what we were seeing in the night sky. A world without guns would probally be better for us ,but people would have to use other ways to fight each other. Propellants make a big part of our lives and we depend on them deeply.
