"We were very surprised," said Juan Escobar. "The power you could get from just peeling tape was enormous."

Yes, it will say "DO NOT USE IN OUTER SPACE"

Produces some very interesting cosmology theories as well, such as that x-rays originated during the big bang when the sticky tape holding the original singularity together ripped apart. Which leads to the fact that the current universe started simply because God used a poor-quality brand of sticky tape in an effort to keep it together :p
