Doesn't velcro spontaneously combust in space? Seriously.
Sorry, not spontaneous, just dangerous.

"The heat from the rocket exhaust would not ignite or scorch the gold Mylar. The lack of oxygen would keep it from burning. The exhaust gases from a rocket engine disperse rapidly in a vacuum, losing temperature and pressure in the process. By the time the exhaust gas reached the Mylar it would likely be too cold to cause visible damage." - email from James Spellman
