* ExpospeakGag: A few of these have crawled into the fan vocabulary from [[http://rocketry.wordpress.com/2011/11/13/rocketry-euphemisms/ real-world rocketry]], notably "rapid unplanned disassembly"[[labelnote:Translation]]The rocket suddenly breaks up mid-flight, usually because something exploded[[/labelnote]] and "lithobraking."[[labelnote:Translation]]The rocket "brakes" by hitting the ground[[/labelnote]] The latter [[http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lithobraking is a legitimate landing technique]] that [[http://i39.tinypic.com/ofdb8.gif can be used in-game successfully]], but most of the time the term's used in the ironic sense.
