Trivia

 * General Naird played by Steve Carell, orders that Marcus is to be awarded the highest service medal that he is eligible for, after being propelled towards the sun. However, Brad Gregory says he isn't eligible for any service medal, because Marcus is an animal. This is incorrect since animals in the service of the U.S. military (which Space Force is a branch of) have been rewarded service medals in the past on multiple occasions. In the United States animals can be awarded The Animals in War & Peace Medal of Bravery.
 * The medal was first awarded in November of 2019. This means that during the production of this episode, the medal might not exist.
