A catastrophic failure of the first launch of the NASA SLS rocket, which destroys enough of the ground systems to scuttle the program.
Since the first launch is uncrewed, this could happen without any loss of human life, and is widely regarded as the best possible outcome of the program, finally ringing a death knell to decades of pork and throwing good money after bad. If the Wickwick event occurs, thousands of skilled NASA employees and contractors, squandering their productive years on the dead-end SLS program, will be freed up to pursue more fruitful endeavors in the field.
Named after an Ars Technica reader and commentor named Wickwick, who proposed this outcome and explained why it would be overall a good thing, in a comment thread in early 2022.

Everyone's tuning in to the launch webcast to see if we get a Wickwick Event, or if the SLS boondoggle continues sucking the air out of NASA.

Get the Canon Event mug.An ancient tradition derived from the earliest of civilizations. It is normally an act of solidarity, but it can be used as a social function in a group of close friends (the “boys” if you will). The fact of the matter is that it is not just a hamburger you have in the evening (a common misconception by many) but it is an action within itself, a force to be reckoned with. It is the ultimate team building event, while it can also be a very personal and eye-opening experience.
