Trivia

The Show

• As the comic flips to the story, an ad for the Official Creepshow Tarot deck can be seen. The cards featured are of the scarecrow from The Companion, Bob from The Finger, and the djinn from The Man in the Suitcase.

• Sandra is seen smoking and using the ashtray from "Father's Day" as she informs the astronauts of the Gorangis' existence.

• Ann Poole, the news reporter from Shapeshifters Anonymous, makes a return appearance in this episode, interviewing Alex and Ted aboard the Ocula.

Allusions and References

• The title of this story is a play on the 1983 film The Right Stuff, which was also about a crew of astronauts.

• The letters "KNB" appear on a monitor in the Ocula. This is a reference to the KNB EFX Group, Inc, a practical effects company co-founded by Greg Nicotero that produces the special effects for the series.

• Another monitor on the Ocula reads "HAL". This is the name from the rogue artificial intelligence from the 1968 film 2001: A Space Odyssey.

• The heads of the Gorangi look remarkably similar to those of the Martians from the 1996 film Mars Attacks!
