The film contains no documented LGBTQ+ characters or non-heteronormative identities. The narrative focuses entirely on a traditional scientific expedition without subverting heteronormative structures.

The story centers on a homogeneous group of male astronomers and explorers. This reinforces early 20th-century depictions of intellectual authority as a strictly masculine domain.

The cast is largely homogeneous, reflecting the cinematic norms of 1908. While lunar beings appear, they serve as comedic aesthetic devices rather than nuanced representations of race.

The film celebrates Western scientific optimism and technological progress. It lacks complex moral relativism or critiques of Western institutions like capitalism or organized religion.

There are no visible or invisible disabilities portrayed in the film. All characters are presented as able-bodied explorers without any use of disability as a plot device.
