Has anyone seen this easter egg before?

[One-Way Films]

So I was starting to construct a mothership for my first journey to the outer planets (from the outer planets mod) and decided to start with the MK3 Cockpit. I read the description and found this nice surprise

Has it been found before? Have I been immortalized as an explorer of the part list?!

I've noticed it but never saw it as an Easter Egg.

Am I missing something? What's so special about the description text?

Reference to the movie Armageddon.

I believe there's also  reference to The Martian in the RTG's description. If I recall, it says something along the lines of, "Warning: Not to be used for heating rovers."

Product description

“

Through exploitation of the natural decay of Blutonium-238, this elegantly simple power generator can provide consistent, stable power for decades. Not to be used for providing heating during emergency rover excursions.

”

(This is possibly a reference to The Martian, where Mark Watney used a RTG to provide heating in order to save power.)

It won't seem so bad if you just lighten up.

Finally! Someone clicked it (well a few people did). Once I learn to embed Imgur albums again you'll see the title Armageddon Easter Egg above it. I left Armageddon and easter egg in the tags too

came here to say this.

I guess the one in the movie had a higher impact tolerance than 50m/s

[Superfluous J]

Knowing now that it's about Armageddon, I'm happier that I didn't get it.

No, the quote goes "Lighten up, Francis". Don't know where you got Danny from.

I thought I knew what easter egg meant in the context of videogames. Apparently I was wrong. It just refers to a reference, quip, pun, or any other identifiable distinct part of the design or aesthetics? So like the fact that the menus are grey is an easter egg, or that "Kerbal" is spelled with a "K"? Kinda makes them too numerous to point out.

Haha, glad to see someone else noticed it. I never check the wiki regarding parts or anything, so I didn't know you added that.
