~~==Trivia==~~

*The newspaper on which the episode's title appears is the "[[Emeryville Gazette]]". [[Emeryville]] is a city in [[California]] where [[Pixar Animation Studios|Pixar]] headquarters is located. This marks the second time the town is mentioned in the ''Cars'' world, the first time being in ''[[Cars]]''.

*Moon Mater is the direct transposition in the ''Cars'' world of the Apollo program. A main difference is the use of a Space Shuttle to get to the moon, instead of a gigantic rocket (Saturn V).

*Autonaut Impala XIII's name is a reference to "Apollo XIII", which as Impala's XIII's mission almost turned to disaster.

*This is the first short not to be directed by [[John Lasseter]].

*[[NASCA]] ''(National Automotive Space Car Association)'' is a portmanteau of NASA ''(National Aeronautics and Space Administration) ''and NASCAR ''(National Association for Stock Car Auto Racing)''.

*When Roger takes off to the Moon to rescue Impala XIII, he is taking off from a launchpad like an actual space shuttle, but at the end of the short, he takes off from a runway similar to an airplane.

*"Auto-naut" is a pun on "astronaut". However, near the end of the short, the TV show host talking to Mater says "astronaut".

*For some reason, neither the Earth's continents nor the Moon's maria are car-ified.
