If I remember correctly the Space Manager game had to phone home somewhere other than Newgrounds in order for high scores to register. If that website is no longer loading or in existence that would explain why the game itself no longer loads.
I remember that it was actually working like this: loading up to 70-80%, temporarily pausing and then the game appeared fully loaded. It is possible that during that break the game was connecting to the external server that for some reason went down as you say. I also noticed few months ago that the whole score board was rebooted.
I'm part of the short list of people who was able to earn some of the more insane and time consuming medals, so losing them would be unfortunate.
For some reason it really would be sad. I still remember the planning: now earn x amount of Quids, use all the earnings on that type of upgrades etc.
Well, that's why I call them medals for generations:
If I won't earn them then my children will earn them.
And if my children won't get them then their children will get them.
And if their children won't unlock them then their children will surely succeed.
And if their children... ;-)
There were actually many more medals attached to this game, but as Fooliolo once calculated the time needed to earn some of them would exceed the whole lifetime ;-)
However, I'm much more interested in what becomes of his beta game called Space Conquerors.

It's a much more mature, detailed, and interesting game than Space Manager despite that fact that a lot of the dialogue hasn't been translated yet. It also has a whole mess of medals that would go live if the game ever gets uploaded to the portal. It would be a shame to see it wallow in development limbo forever.
I also checked this one and the author surely put lots of effort into this. But he sent me a link to it some 2-3 years ago, so I am worrying if he will ever submit it. I only noticed that there are much more medals added now and they are actually working.
Oh, as for the dialogues, I would have an advantage here: I learned to read Russian recently ;-)
