Behind the scenes

 * With every episode's title card, one of the gang announces the guest star, which is Velma this time.
 * Oddly, when Fred reacts to seeing Neil, he doesn't start off by saying his catchphrase "Hold the phone."
 * The NX-NYE is an allusion to the NX-01 Enterprise in the TV series Star Trek: Enterprise.
 * The tardigrade monster resembles the tardigrade monster from the TV series Star Trek: Discovery.
 * Shaggy says "Zoinks" thrice.
 * Daphne says "Jeepers" once.
 * Neil directly talks to the audience, or more specifically the middle schoolers who will hopefully be watching this episode, when he says that they will be the ones heading to Mars by 2033.
 * There are several references to Alien:
 * When Scooby and Shaggy first run into the tardigrade monster, he snarls up close to their faces, just as the alien did to Ellen Ripley.
 * Scooby thinks there's an alien crawling around his chest, similar to a Chestburster.
 * Neil's line, "In space, not only can no one hear you scream, but they can't hear you explode, either" is a paraphrase of the tagline to the film Alien: In space, no one can hear you scream.
 * When Shaggy and Scooby crawl backward away from the tardigrade monster, video game music is played.
 * Fred received the Mystery Machine's remote control from Urkel in "When Urkel-Bots Go Bad!"
 * Bill & Neil have had unfortunate encounters with Urkel themselves.

Errors

 * The title card of this episode, along with the one for "A Mystery Solving Gang Divided," leave out an exclamation mark, but considering the other 50 episodes do, this could be considered a typo.
 * Shaggy & Scooby are afraid to go into space as if they had never already done that in the direct-to-video film Scooby-Doo! Moon Monster Madness.

Everlasting influence

 * This episode provides some plausibility in allowing Billy Nye to later help the gang in the direct-to-video film Happy Halloween, Scooby-Doo!
