** Stories involving manned planetary/lunar expeditions/colonies.
** The British having anything to do with the above lunar expeditions.
* [[The Great Politics Mess -Up]]: Or Soviet Russia in stories set after 1990.

** ''Who's There'' has a fluffy [[Tomato Surprise]]. {{spoiler|The reader is lead to believe by the character that something is trying to get into his spacesuit, or that the spacesuit is about to fail because it was repaired after a previous fatal accident. Instead, the astronaut is simply hearing the muffled noises and scratchings of three [[Everythings Cuter With Kittens|kittens 'nesting' in the space suit and were born to the station mascot.]]}}.
