Notes/trivia

The pre-teen Velma also had an invention of her's chosen to go into space in the previous series episode, Dawn of the Spooky Shuttle Scare.
Two of the scientists resemble characters from Scooby-Doo, Where Are You!: Dr. Jekyll from Nowhere to Hyde and Professor Ingstrom from Scooby's Night with a Frozen Fright.
Frank Welker and Colleen O'Shaughnessey are uncredited as Reggie and the brown-haired policeman and Celia Clyde, respectively.
Janet is one of the only (female) culprits to try and escape after being caught; she even harms the police to get away.

Animation mistakes and/or technical glitches

Fred is missing his eyebrows when Velma tells the rest of the gang that Janet works with E.T.I.S. at the base.

Inconsistencies/continuity errors and/or goofs/oddities

Velma refers to the organisation as E.T.I.S., but the logo around the base has "S.E.A." written underneath it.
The moment Scooby laughs after scaring Shaggy in the space suit, it instantly vanishes, with absolutely no time to take if off.
Shaggy and Scooby didn't use the milk carton in the end, it seems to have been simply set up as a deus ex machina for later. If they had drunk any, it would've been open (or likely even finished).
Elliott Blender is miscredited as "Elliott Blinder." Additionally, the closed captions also make the same mistake, and also refer to Velma Dinkley as "Velma Dinkly."
Elliot complains in a later episode (Big Appetite in Little Tokyo) about being allergic to dogs. However, he makes no mention of it this episode, despite often being in close proximity to Scooby-Doo.
