I didn't notice a single stereotypical space/future font in there. Lots of Helvetica and suchlike, plus a few display typefaces in spots where it makes sense to use a display typeface. And, of course, a bunch of computer fonts that look retro-futuristic now, but would have just been all they had to work with, because that sort of styling was what you had to do to make text legible on a vintage 1979 low DPI CRT display.
