A euphemisim for suicide. While phrases such as "six feet under" and "pushing up daisies" apply to other forms of death, this is specifically for suicide. It was inspired by the Heaven's Gate cult, who committed suicide in the belief that their souls would ride a "spaceship" hidden near the Hale-Bopp comet when it passed by Earth in 1997.
Did you hear what happened to Joe?
Yeah. After he lost his job and his wife left him, he couldn't take it anymore. He decided to ride the comet.

a spectacular comet that graced our skies in 1996 - 1997. It lead to lots of stupid New Age speculation due to the "prophecy" and angel-encounter end-of-the-millenium bullshit that was going on in near the end of the 20th century. There were cult suicides, and superstitious predictions that did not come true. It was very prominent in the sky in early to mid 1997. Dubbed the "Comet of the Century", Hale-Bopp was a thrill to see and a once in a lifetime event, although you can't tell when the next comet "biggie" may come our way.

Equal opportunity is for morons, liars, and thieves only. Never hire a competent Individual because next to them you will appear stupid. These people should never be allowed a job interview.
