I think this was the crew with Bruce Willis and Ben Affleck.
Dude, the Space Shuttle totally had enough delta v to get to the moon. If you don't believe me, why don't you ask Louie Armstrong yourself? /s (I know the xkcd I'm ripping of says Lance Armstrong, but I like the idea of a jazz musician on the moon better than the idea of a troubled athlete.)
That may be the case, but still keen for a source referencing that particular usage…
I think you missed the "/s". There's no way the Space Shuttle Launch System has enough delta v to reach the moon. For one, the need the IUS or another booster on satellites released by the Space Shuttle that need to make it to geosynchronous orbit, which is still significantly less delta v than a translunar orbit.
they rendezvoused with a separately launched fuel supply while in earth orbit
