* Captain Derek [[Series/BlakesSeven Tarrant]], right down to a physical description that fits Stephen Pacey. They don't act much alike though.

* The way the Kerbals developed their FasterThanLightDrive (launching a probe into a [[NegativeSpaceWedgie mysterious gravitational anomaly]], accidentally accelerating it past lightspeed and developing things from there) is taken directly from one of [[https://www.youtube.com/channel/UC8DIKwGU8wFZfk3Xi3-zcrQ Danny2462's]] KSP videos.

[[AC:Shout-outs that don't spoil The Reveal]]

* As noted on the main page, the TNF universe apparently has a game called [[VideoGame/BuzzAldrinRaceIntoSpace Buzz Kerman's Race Into Space]]. Which is their equivalent of ''Kerbal Space Program'', and Jeb is apparently a fan. That's... quite meta, really.
* One of the blog entries discusses an SF novel Jeb read once about a method of detecting intelligent life. It's actually a reference to ''Nemesis'' by Creator/IsaacAsimov, in which the interplanetary [=EEG=] thing was crucial to the plot.
* The dwarf planet shaped like a female kerbal's... something reproductive[[note]]let's just say MaleToFemaleUniversalAdaptor is averted here and leave it at that![[/note]] is lifted more or less directly from ''Series/RedDwarf''.
* OriginalCharacters Scott Kerbley and Kurt McKerjel are named for popular KSP LetsPlay makers {{Scott Manley}} and KurtJMac.
* The computer-generated voice calling the Kerbals to the cockpit when dropping out of warp is a reference to the computer from ''Film/DarkStar''. This was supposed to be more than a one-scene gag but [[CerebusSyndrome the story's direction precluded that.]]

[[AC: Shout-outs that ''do'' spoil TheReveal, so scroll down at your own risk.]]
* Captain Derek [[Series/BlakesSeven Tarrant]], right down to a physical description that fits Stephen Pacey. They don't act much alike though.
* The asteroid the ''Starfarer 1'' orbits is called K-78356-Jessenstein, in reference to a ''VideoGame/{{Terraria}}'' LetsPlay... possibly. (It was suggested by a reader on the Spacebattles forums, and the author never got around to asking for details.)
* The IAV ''Fredricksson'''s Chief of The Boat is Master CPO Hemry, named after the SF writer John G. Hemry... better known as Jack Campbell, author of ''Literature/TheLostFleet'' series.
