I agree that it does seem pretty out of place, although it's not the first time that science-fiction stuff has appeared in a D&D setting. The very first such incident dates all the way back to 1st Edition, in the "Expedition to the Barrier Peaks" module in 1980. There have also been further crossovers between D&D and the other science fiction setting published by (the now defunct) TSR, Gamma World, which eventually resulted in the D&D Spelljammer setting, kind of a weird blend between fantasy and space travel sci-fi.
