'A kid built a Mercury capsule and later he saved the [rocket/spacecraft] program!'

Avoids a failure.

Nice!

I heard something on the Onion podcast this morning I thought could be incorporated. 

"Drunk crew member releases himself from craft during EVA.  Lost."

Surlalune is on fire here. Somebody's gotta keep him competitive. Let that person be me!

"Chief Propulsion Engineer bumps his head while standing on his toilet to hang a clock, makes remarkable discovery. [Booster name] safety rating enhaced by [percentage]."

Yes, that is a Back to the future reference.

"Impossibly large asterioid en route to Earth is spotted by astronomer. Deep-core oil drillers are recruited and crash-trained as astronauts. Asteroid collision was a miscalculation. Astronauts STAMPER and SHARPE are added to the roster."

That's a Deep Impact reference.

"New Australian TELMU support technician forgets he's in the Northern hemisphere. All communications are lost after one orbit. After 15 frantic hours of reconfiguration the errors are repaired. Mission is scrubbed."

A The Dish reference.

"Crew member forgot to fill out IRS tax return. No effect after Presidential offers amensty by Executive order."

A reference to the Apollo 13 film. Was it Fred Haise or Jack Swigert that forgot?

Oh? How's this then:

'Saboteur was hiding inside lander. He tries to take over the lander, leaving the official crew marooned on the Moon, and fly it back to his own country. Outside, the crew watch horrified as the lander blasts off, shuts down, and crashes, leaving the crew to die on the moon / comes to rest right-side up.'

Explorers On The Moon reference.

It was Swigert.

I like this competition.  Keep them coming!

I know I suggested this in a different context, but since we're doing tributes, how about "Landing party captured by Selenites. LM pilot kills Selenite king with walking stick, crew escapes to lander. Mission still a success." ?

This competition is seriously heating up.

*A US-only event*

"NASA sells advertising rights on side of each launched Saturn V. Saturn V now costs 3MB less per unit."

How about:

'Director/Comrade, if you want to see the [program] program again, pay 10 M.B. Do not call the police. You cannot trace us. You cannot find us.'

Ooo!  I might have a new favorite. 

Okay guys.  I need to give a final date for submissions so that I can compile all of these and release a humor mod.  How does March 9th sound?  That gives you a solid two weeks to finish up and that weekend I'll try to get this all together.

British people, remember the episode of Top Gear in which they build a space shuttle out of a Reliant Robin?

What's dope?

That's a common term for marijuana. It's a plant, used as a 'soft' drug. In some countries it is tolerated by being partially legalised. In others it is downright illegal.
