Trivia
- Elements of the RTASA were inspired by NASA.
- The RTASA logo uses the same "worm" typeface as NASA used between 1975 and 1992.
- The name draws heavily from NASA's unabridged designation, National Aeronautics and Space Administration.
- It also serves as an in-joke to Rooster Teeth: the typeface is employed in the logo for the RTX convention.
- Apart from being a NASA 'expy', the agency also appears to fill much the same role for the Polity as the Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency does for the present day United States of America, if on somewhat of a smaller scale.
