1) So that's where all the helium's gone...

or

2) The chiefs of staff prepare a gift for the new Royal baby that will ensure that he/she takes a sympathetic view of the military from the start...

or

3) Trials of an early prototype of the Curiosity Mars Rover forced the design team to reconsider the 'bouncing balloon' landing methods previously used by Spirit and Opportunity
