What about the Rimmer Directive that states “Never tangle with anything that has more teeth than the entire Osmond family”.
Or the one that states, quite clearly, “No chance you metal b#stard”.
The order in which the Space Corp Directives are written always confuses me. Why would…
Space Corps Directive #1742
No member of the Corps should ever report for active duty in a ginger toupee
Be one before:
Space Corp Directive #1743
No registered vessel should attempt to transverse an asteroid belt without deflectors.
They were both written as a result of the same incident in which a ginger tupee came loose and obscured the deflector status of a vessel as it traversed an asteroid belt. A different coloured toupee wouldn't have obscured the red / amber status light. A regulation check of deflector status would have revealed the problem. Hence the two regulations.
Regulations are typically written at one time then possibly after a while added to or new regulations amended on.
Directives tho are a bit like executive orders made by the US President. They’re made as and when necessary.
Eg:
EO 14118 - Termination of Emergency with respect to the situation in Zimbabwe
Whereas immediately prior to that they have:
EO 14117 - Preventing Access to Americans' Bulk Sensitive Personal Data and United States Government-Related Data by Countries of Concern
Completely unrelated matters but published sequentially so if SpaceCorps directives are a bit like this, you could very well have one about asteroid orbits being just before one about ginger toupees (tho why non ginger wigs would be less offensive I don’t know…)
No officer with false teeth should attempt oral sex in zero gravity.
Ah the old Space Corps Directive 34124
Or Rimmer directive 271: “no chance, you metal bastard”
Here we are in mortal danger.And you're worried about the chinese delegate taking more than one car

Not a space corps directive though, it's an article from the all nations agreement
I'm sorry sir but that's just not possible without at least one live chicken and a rabbi
196156
Any officer caught sniffing the saddle of the exercise bicycle in the women's gym will be discharged without trial.
Sorry sir, that doesn't quite get to the nub of the matter for me.
Aka the "Troy Buswell"
My friend worked for him… and still never thought it was funny when I referred to Troy as ‘seat sniffer’…

Ahh yes i remember reading that space core news flyer.
