I don't see a statement from NASA on if what was allegedly spread was Lithium, or Lithium Carbonate. Element vs. medication. I think the element would do something completely different if exposed in upper atmosphere (creates monoxide and peroxide with Oxygen). No idea what Lith-carbonate would do with those temperatures and gases.
Seems like a lot of speculation in the article, with little statement from NASA.. Did I miss the relevant passages?
