Worst way to ruin Jeb's Monday

Jeb receives a memo from the HR department 5 minutes before his scheduled mission to see if aerobraking is possible on Eeloo after all...

"Commander Jebediah Kerman is to report to Accounts Outgoing immediately. There has been a Code 11 'aberrant exponential digression of federal budgetary funds' into an unrecognised Bank of Bop offworld account."

Later, Jeb wondered if the handwriting in the memo looked suspiciously similar to Bob Kerman's. He wondered this from his cell.

Sunday evening, mission time t+4d20h10m: "Okay Jeb. Good work today! You're bound for Kerbin, optimal reentry trajectory, fuel reserves minimal, optimal reentry weight! Time to catch some sleep. We'll contact you again tomorrow for the final portion of your trip." - "Affirmative, see you tomorrow on solid ground!"

Monday: "Hey Jeb, I hope you slept well. Listen, we got a problem: Our scientists were shocked to find out this morning that the universe's physics seem to have switched. The air feels thinner so we're not sure you are packing enough parachutes. And somehow heat doesn't work the same way either, we've had a lot of koffee-scorched tongues down here. Anyways... you're coming in FAST and VERY HOT. Good luck."

One fine Monday morning, Jeb arrived at the Kerbal Space Center to discover that there were no rockets to launch. Funds had become so depleted that they'd started building lamp posts instead of rockets, as that was far more profitable. He was not amused, and there were an awful lot of broken lamp posts by the time he was done. And so the short-lived Kerbal Streetlamp Program came to an abrupt and shrapnel-covered end.

To have him successfully go on a mission and for nothing to go wrong, his Monday will not be ruined at all. That would be the worst way to attempt to ruin his Monday...

Well, considering Jeb's personality, nothing going wrong might actually ruin his Monday indeed...

"Sorry Jeb, kerballed rockets are just too expensive. To save funds, we're going to launch only probes from now on!"

You are too cruel!

I'll just leave this here:

What's next? Massive memorials made out of rocket parts for fallen Kerbals?!
