Ideally, removing Kelso's shipwide alert should have been accompanied by removing Mitchell's remark in the turbolift. But that would have been a visible edit unless there was a cut to some other angle or closeup. At the time, the idea that the episode would be viewed over and over again for decades would never have occurred to them, so they just let it go.
Another point. Does it strike you as dangerously risky to take a single ship out to the edge of the galaxy and plow it right into a mysterious energy field without having a support vessel standing by, or at least sending a probe or shuttle through first? It's the pilot of course, so they obviously hadn't thought of probes yet, but the ship was designed from the beginning with a set of hangar doors on its rear end so they should have had something they could send through first.
