My paper was rejected. Not enough new material, and I'd failed to cite related work.

As well as being annoying, this is worrying: the paper contained almost all the new material that's in my thesis, strongly suggesting that my thesis doesn't contain enough new material either.

Bugger.

On the upside, the reviewer suggested some possible applications and further work: if I could do that, maybe that would be enough.

Take heart! Just because the paper was rejected doesn't mean that it can't be a thesis. If your supervisor thinks that it is enough for a thesis, then it is enough for a thesis.

Oh, and: galactic destruction!... blah blah...

Yes! Don't freak out! It's your supervisor who knows the context best in your case; and you may be misjudging the context of the journal!
