Cultural References

• SpongeBob makes reference to "cowlicks" as evidence of aliens. This is most likely homage to Pete and Pete.
• When Patrick is messing around with a control in Sandy's rocket while "playing a game", a sound effect in the background is the rotating block sound from Tetris. He was possibly playing Tetris.
• When SpongeBob and Patrick first become weightless in the rocket, a book floats by with "2001" written on its cover. This is a reference to Arthur C. Clark's novel 2001: A Space Odyssey.
• A crop circle reference is in the episode.
• When SpongeBob tosses his first captured "alien" (Gary), a ticker on the rocket clicks to one and a "ding" sound is heard. This ding used to be a common sound on CBS game shows, but it is most famous for being used on the current US version of The Price is Right.
• This show is a spoof of alien films, specifically the 1986 James Cameron film, Aliens involving battles between marines and aliens, except in this episode the so called "aliens" do not retaliate or carry any weapons.
• SpongeBob’s belief that the "aliens" are "projecting" his and Patrick's memories of their home, Bikini Bottom, onto the lunar surface to put them into a false sense of security seems to be inspired from a short story, "The Third Expedition", from Ray Bradbury's book, the Martian Chronicles.
• When SpongeBob looks out at the window towards the moon, the view of Earth from the Moon looks almost exactly like the famed Apollo 8 photograph.
• A book based on this episode features an alternate ending where SpongeBob releases Sandy from the bag, and Sandy shoots SpongeBob as punishment before flying the rocket back to Bikini Bottom. (Which could explain the missing link to the ending of the show)

Trivia/Goofs

• During a Nickelodeon movie promotion in 1999, a set of scratch and sniff stickers were released at specified fast-food restaurants to be used with certain Nicktoons. One of them was used when Patrick squirted toothpaste in some peanut butter. Also, the symbol that signaled you to "sniff" at the bottom right part of the screen was accidentally filmed along with the episode, and not edited over until late 2002, almost 3 years after the scratch and sniff packs were put out of circulation.
• First appearance of Flats the Flounder. The second and third were the episodes Texas and The Bully.
• A LEGO set based on this episode was released in 2008.
• Sandy's Rocket's scale changes between Bikini Bottom and the Moon.
• When SpongeBob and Patrick are having a tough time filling the "aliens" in the rocket ship, there were still many Bikini Bottomites captured and left on the ground. But after SpongeBob caught Patrick and Sandy, all the Bikini Bottomites were captured and the rocket was still half empty.
• Smoke from the rocket get into Sandy's treedome, despite the fact that the rocket is outside.
• It is un explained to how every one got back to earth.
