To be fair, a lot of goofy-sounding rocketry/aerospace terminology has a legitimate nomenclatural role beyond just being silly euphemisms.
"Unplanned rapid disassembly", for example, exists as the necessary counterpart to planned rapid disassembly: sometimes a rocket is legitimately supposed to fall apart or blow up, so you need a specific term to emphasise that it wasn't supposed to do that.
Similarly, "lithobraking" was coined by analogy with aerobraking (shedding velocity via atmospheric friction) and hydrobraking (shedding velocity by landing in water), and it does have some intentional applications; the Mars Pathfinder probe, for example, was deliberately crashed into the Martian surface while surrounded by giant airbags, and reportedly bounced at least 15 times before coming to rest.
(That said, aerospace engineers absolutely do use these terms humorously as well, because engineers are just Like That.)

Do you think someone will remember us?
DEEP TIME was originally published as an accordion-fold comic glued into a circular shape, so the story could be read backwards and forwards from any starting panel. Physical editions of DEEP TIME printed in bright red and teal risograph are avaliable in my shop.

Don’t imagine Danny who just realized why he feels unfulfilled by saving Amity.
Don’t imagine him trying to psych himself up into telling Jazz, Sam, and Tucker.
Don’t imagine him getting the news that he’s the ghost king
Don’t imagine him realizing that he can’t explore the stars because the weight of that crown falls heavily on his shoulders.
Don’t imagine how heartbroken he would be every night that he was too exhausted to watch the stars.
But imagine the usual circumstances of the Justice League summoning the Ghost King, something about Darkseid.
Imagine how they would’ve been prepared to give souls to Pariah Dark only to see a sickly child ghost, in both senses of the word, in the summoning circle.
(Obsession neglect is the same as starvation for a ghost, after all.)
Imagine him being terrified that the Justice League found out about Dan only to realize that he’s needed to save the day. Again.
Imagine him realizing he’s in space and demanding that he gets to spend time there in exchange.
(Jazz had to drill self advocacy into him at some point.)
Imagine this tiny child, one that Dark swears is the King and millennias old, easily defeating Darkseid on his own because Darkseid is alive, and could never compare to Pariah or Dan.
Imagine the Justice League occasionally seeing this dead child floating outside the watchtower, occasionally doing outside repairs without being asked to.
Imagine the Justice League watching this child slowly get healthier everytime that he shows up to exist in the stars.
Maybe one day, they’ll even get to give him flowers, since Zatanna said that it’s a Ghost Culture Thing, and they want to be hospitable to this world endingly powerful royal.
Imagine how surprised Danny would be. He might even let it slip that he was never mourned, that no one noticed he died except the ones there to see it.
Imagine how heartbroken the leaguers would be, especially Bruce because his own kids have died and he couldn’t imagine them being unmourned.
Maybe, just maybe, imagine Danny getting a grave right beside Jason’s, with stars engraved on the tombstone.
Imagine how relieved Danny would be.
