2001 Nights: A Space Fantasy by Yukinobu Hoshino is a love-letter to the classic hard sci-fi stories of yesteryear, especially the works of [[Arthur C. Clarke (Creator)]].

* [[Sapient Ship]]: '''[[Tear Jerker|MY NAME IS-- ROCKET. I AM ROCKET...]]'''
* [[Shout Out]]: In addition to the characters named after real and fictional people (see [[Expy]]), the concepts of a planet made of antimatter, a quantum black hole swallowing a planet, trees that serve as organic rockets, and the word "starseed" are all borrowed from stories by [[Larry Niven]].

* [[Tear Jerker]]: If it isn't a [[Crowning Moment of Awesome]] or a [[Crowning Moment of Heartwarming]], it's probably this.
