NASA's unreleased acronyms

[RealKerbal3x]

Title says it all. Think of a word, then make up a NASA-style acronym based on that word. Ideally space-based, but it can be anything you want. Doesn't have to make sense! (Remember the forum rules though!)

I'll start: CHEESE. Capsule Hydraulics Emergency Escape System Eggs.

(I don't know)

This brings way too many questions to mind.

 

Nothing can beat the Combined Operational Load-Bearing External Resistance Treadmill, or COLBERT.

Quote

NASA selected the treadmill's name after comedian and host Stephen Colbert of Comedy Central's "The Colbert Report" took interest during the Node 3 naming census and urged his followers to post the name "Colbert," which received the most entries.

But then there's the OFFER Button.   

Oh F- F- Everybody Run!

Sadly they went with ABORT instead.

Why? A kink in a tubular section of fuel line is no laughing matter. Shuts your mission right down.

KERBAL: Kinetic Energy Reduction By Augmented Landing

It's landing on a giant bouncy house. Come to think of it, this would actually be a great name in so many ways for SpaceX's supposed "bouncy castle" for F9 S2. Somebody please tweet this to Elon for me?
