I have hit a dead end:

You put on the orange jumpsuit.
An echoing voice announces, “All workers prepare for launch.”

Evil Canaveral
A distant stream of scientists in lab coats and worker drones in colored jumpsuits busy themselves preparing a set of three specially-designed space vehicles for launch.
The nearest space shuttle is up a gantry from here. A room just east of here is labeled, “Changing Area.”

Vehicle Entry Gangplank
Across a small walkway to the north lies the entry portal for the spacecraft. A line of people in orange jumpsuits, carrying flight kits, waits to board.

Flight to the Moon
It’s going to be a long ride without something to read. Fortunately, your spy training enables you to slow your pulse rate, and you take a nice 82 hour nap.

The dreadful truth is, this is not a dream.
The shuttle begins its docking procedure.

The shuttle door opens automatically.

Changing Area
A concrete and steel room that smells like it was recently packed with busy workers experiencing high stress levels. The launch hour being so close, the room looks pretty picked over.
The dead worker lies on the floor.
You can also see a row of pegs (on which are a red jumpsuit and a white jumpsuit) here.

“Hey WHO ARE YOU?” come the obvious cries, when they see you don’t even have an orange jumpsuit. A scuffle ensues, after which you are locked into another small concrete chamber, one that turns out to be the exhaust catch for the giant rocket boosters. You recite the countdown to your own demise.
*** It goes something like 5-4-3-2-1-ow-yowie ***[/spoiler]
I was able to undo out of that, but what am I supposed to do? [ETA: Oh, hmm, the answer was “check the walkthrough” and… I think I had to do something else before then to trigger something there? OK, PSA:
It looks like you have to open the flight kit and eat the paste before you leave the changing area or the the next event won’t trigger.
By the way the game is playable in browser at http://iplayif.com/?story=http%3A//raddial.com/if/games/Moonbase%2520Indigo.gblorb, unless that’s leading to problems I’m missing. And it is quite charming and smooth-playing for a pretty big speed-IF, up to the point where I got stuck–see spoiler above. And with some multiple solutions too!
