| 1 | * AccidentalDownerEnding: Season 2 ends with the team spotting an asteroid on a collision course with Earth. The show was then cancelled due to flagging ratings. |
| 2 | * ActorInspiredElement: Creator/BenSchwartz [[ThrowItIn improvised the line]] where F. Tony mentions his lactose intolerance. Ben is lactose intolerant in real life. |
| 3 | * AllStarCast: The cast is headlined by Creator/SteveCarell, Creator/JohnMalkovich and Creator/BenSchwartz, with Creator/LisaKudrow, Creator/FredWillard, Creator/JaneLynch, Creator/PatrickWarburton and Creator/DiedrichBader in recurring roles. |
| 4 | * TheCharacterDiedWithHim: In season 2, Mark Naird refers to his father in the past tense, indicating that Fred Naird had passed away between seasons 1 & 2. |
| 5 | * TheDanza: Fred Naird shares the same name as his actor, Creator/FredWillard. |
| 6 | * DuelingWorks: With Creator/{{Showtime}}'s ''Series/Moonbase8'', though that show had already been filmed and was awaiting a home by the time ''Space Force'' was announced. |
| 7 | * InMemoriam: The first episode is dedicated to Creator/FredWillard in recognition of it being his final acting role prior to his death. He never lived to see the show debut, passing away just two weeks before. |
| 8 | * PlayingAgainstType: |
| 9 | ** Steve Carell is primarily known for playing fools, goobers and wimps. Here he's playing a hard-nosed and intelligent military officer. |
| 10 | ** Ditto with the same character in the Japanese dub, in a way: Mark is voiced by Creator/BinShimada, who is normally typecasted on voicing either scheming or psychotic villains, something that's not the case here. |
| 11 | * RealitySubtext: The influence the unnamed POTUS has on the plot of the first season is a clear reference to Donald Trump, who was president at the time of the first season. Similarly, the lack of POTUS in the second season is because Donald Trump was no longer president in the time between the release of season 2. |
| 12 | * {{Typecasting}}: Ben Schwartz plays his usual hyperactive, irritating but positive character type as the PR guy. Competence level "medium" in this variation. |
| 13 | * ProductionPosse: Creator/SteveCarell and Greg Daniels reunite for the first time since ''Series/TheOfficeUS''. |
