    I've finally found out you can match word1 OR word2 w/ sed with

    echo MarsWord1MissionWord2 | sed -r "s/(Word1)|(Word2)//g"

      → actually (…|…) is sufficient (so it's just like egrep):

      echo MarsWord1MissionWord2 | sed -r "s/(Word1|Word2)//g"

        →and you can also do it without -r, i.e. without # #, you just need to escape "(", ")" and "|":
        sed "s/\(Word1\|Word2\)//g"

          → it just took me from 1997 to 2017 to find that out. #
