3018: "Second Stage"

Title text: Hmm, they won't do in-flight delivery, so let's order a new first and second stage to our emergency landing site and then try to touch down on top of them to save time.

Wouldn't someone other than the astronauts typically build the rocket?

Yes, but given how well these guys did it it's no surprise no astronaut trusted the rocket and they had to fly it themselves.
