** The Rangers' Megazords (save for one) are controlled with joysticks and computer keyboards, the latter of which sticks out against the futuristic touch-interface of ''In Space'''s Astro Megaship systems. (That being said, considering the Megashuttle -- which contains the Megazord cockpit -- was built on Earth, so you could chalk it up to our technological levels being behind that of KO-35, where the Megaship itself apparently originated from.)

** Astronema converts living beings into "data cards", which seem to be more akin to floppy disks or CD-ROMs than, say, a flash drive or SD card.

* TechnologyMarchesOn: Thanks to the series being made in 1998 and adapting a Sentai that was focused around then-cutting edge tech, there's a lot of it on display:
** The Rangers' "Lightstar helmet" symbols, which are based off random Earth technology of the period (also serving as TheArtifact). Andros has a clunky old 90s computer, TJ has a giant tube TV, etc.
** The Rangers' Megazords (save for one) are controlled with joysticks and computer keyboards, the latter of which sticks out against the futuristic touch-interface of ''In Space'''s Astro Megaship systems.

** Zhane's morpher is a 1990s-era-style cell phone, and can even be used like one.
** The Rangers begin to be hunted by the Psycho Rangers because of a pocket organizer's beeping sounding ''just'' like the Rangers' communication signal.
** Silvy gives Carlos a pager to contact him (at first, to be at her beck-and-call).
** Psycho Yellow converts herself into a computer virus (then one of the hot new threats) to infect the Mega Voyager.
** Astronema converts living beings into "data cards", which seem to be more akin to floppy disks or CD-ROMs than, say, a flash drive or SD card.
** Ecliptor, when he discovers the location of the Mega Voyager's base, transports himself into the base out of a 1990s-era beige box and monitor computer.

** The crossover with ''Series/NinjaTurtlesTheNextMutation'' didn't have any of the Turtles' actors reprise their roles because ''Power Rangers in Space'' was an American show and ''The Next Mutation'' was produced in Canada, having Creator/MichaelReisz voice Leonardo instead of Creator/MichaelDobson, Creator/TonyOliver voicing Michaelangelo instead of Creator/KirbyMorrow, Ezra Weisz voicing Donatello instead of Creator/JasonGrayStanford, Brad Orchard voicing Raphael instead of Creator/MattHill, and Tifanie Christun voicing Venus de Milo instead of Lalainia Lindbjerg. The impressions vary in effectiveness.

** Christopher Khayman Lee stated that none of the cast were that thrilled about the ''Series/NinjaTurtlesTheNextMutation'' crossover, especially since said crossover was only a few episodes in and was sewn into the overarching plot, meaning it couldn't be considered non-canon. He admits that he enjoyed getting to beat the crap out of three of the turtles, however. H also revealed that he didn’t like Andros' tears bringing back Karone in "Countdown to Destruction", as he felt it was too cheesy, even by this series' standards.
