The audience's "Darington!" chants were recycled from Stuntmania!.
In real-life, it takes about three days to fly to and from the moon.
The idea of bending the piece of metal so Blaze and Darington can get through the tunnel is similar to the buoyancy concept in Blaze of Glory, when a curved piece of wood is used to float down the river.
Like Zeg and the Egg, this is the only episode with Darington's name in the title to date.
The actual terms for the power Darington needs for the rocket are Water Power, Wind Power and Solar Power.
For the first time, the third scene of Crusher and Pickle's subplot is not the final scene of the episode altogether.
This is the first time Blaze goes underwater.
The theme song for this episode has its sound effects muted. This version serves as the 2nd track of Rockin' Ride-Along Songs.
Fifth episode whose title ends with an exclamation mark.
Running Gags[]
Crusher trying to blast off to the moon, but falls into a food stand.
Allusions[]
When Darington's rocket is revealed, the music heard is the opening fanfare of Also sprach Zarathustra composed by Richard Strauss, most noticeable as the theme for 2001: A Space Odyssey.
Goofs[]
Darington doesn't close his rocket before his first attempt to fly to the moon.
The Helicopter Hat somehow is made of metal. A real hat is cotton, like cloths.
