"Orbits are like metal wire, planets are like magnetic pegs, and burning the engine is like bending the wire."
Everyone immediately heard this in their head. Some of us still are.

the last words should be something like
"I wonder what this button does"

No, the LAST words were 'Ah. That's what that does.'

As JFK said:
"We choose to go to the moon ... and do the other things, not because they are easy, but because they are hard, ..."
Full quote for posterity:
"We choose to go to the moon in this decade and do the other things, not because they are easy, but because they are hard, because that goal will serve to organize and measure the best of our energies and skills, because that challenge is one that we are willing to accept, one we are unwilling to postpone, and one which we intend to win, and the others, too."
"We choose to go to the moon ... and do the other things, not because they are easy, but because they are hard, ..."

We choose to run Orbiter sims, not because they are easy, but because they are hard.

"We...kinda forgot we had to pay to use the server."
In the year 2525:
1: What did you find out? Know that you are our last chance to get off this planet. Speak wisely!
2: I found some ancient thin wood with black symbols on it.
1: What is it about?
2: Something they called the cult of the probe.
1: What?
2: Beware, they say it's allmighty and that it can see everything from above. There are many probes and they shine in bright light while others live in the darkest darkness. We should... the script tells that we need to go and check out what they call Lagrange points. We have to learn a lot about what they call travelling to the probes palace. We have to seek those fire stakes at the harbours of the probe. But first off we need to get used a the thing they called Orbiter.
3: Orbiter, I heard of that. It's sad, I tell you something: We actually have no good shaped orbiter installation. Our only remaining PC only has "Lemon Juice Management Simulator".
2: After long silence, Mr. last chance looks down and says:
All is lost, theres nothing we could do (he falls down on his knees with a facepalm). Long time ago every child knew that theres only one thing needed to meet the distant stars: A PC with orbiter on it. Many tried something they called "reading sci-fi books or watching movies" ...all of them never arrived between the stars. All of them followed the wrong movement. Only a few realized, the probe cult could be 42.
1: It's been a long time somebody mentioned 42! My fellow citizens of doomed nowhere. Prepare the fire place, we will meet in the evening to dance around the fire. I encourage you to be strong now, theres no Orbiter but from this day on we will hail the probe! Tell everyone: The probe may come down and help us all!
The crowd repeats: May the probe come down and help us all! Hail the probe! Hail the probe! The crowd repeated those words the whole night long and that's how their new spirit was born. They know also believed in the cult of the probe and later on send female virgins into space for sacrificial offering to their new gods – right after they found parts of the heavenly fire stakes. Since then, everytime a what they now call "hot virgin" returns they celebrate the cult of the probe, knowing that the probe is there and that the sacrifice returned melted by the all mighty impression of the probe and it's palace of stars.
