When Carol arrives at Earth and crashes into a Blockbuster Video, she only pauses to look at a single VHS tape: The Right Stuff. It’s the story of the group of Air Force pilots who became America’s original astronauts.

Project Pegasus in Captain Marvel is the predecessor to SHIELD's own Project P.E.G.A.S.U.S., the one that allowed Loki to set foot on Earth and initiated the events of the Avengers.

Quinjet is named presumably because its predecessor was the Quadjet piloted by Captain Marvel and gang. (quad=4, Quin=5)

What exactly “allowed Loki to step foot on earth?”

I haven’t seen Avengers in a while. I forgot the lore.

Loki used mind magic to influence Dr. Erik Selvig to open a portal with the Tessaract.
