Among its personel is Jor-El, Master of Scheduling, a kind of head-in-jar making public announcements via holographic projection.
The space station is clearly a spoof of the station seen in 2001: A Space Odyssey, and Jor-El has its origins in the 1978 Superman movie, where a similar entity could be seen on Krypton.
