... while still providing other instances of [[Applied Phlebotinum]] that do not break these rules.

Line 27:
== Comic Books ==
* The ''[[Tintin (Comic Book)]]'' comic-books ''[Tintin (Comic Book)/Recap/Destination Moon|Destination Moon]]'' and ''[[Tintin (Comic Book)/Recap/Explorers on the Moon|Explorers on the Moon]]'' (Yes, really!).
== Film ==
* ''[[2001: A Space Odyssey (Film)|2001: A Space Odyssey]]'': The film follows the Manifesto while (ironically) the book by [[Arthur C. Clarke (Creator)]] does not by (catch this) leaving the events ''more'' ambiguous. Because it's not clear that the events following David Bowman's encounter with the monolith are literally happening or are all just in his head, Kubrick's version slips by, while Clarke's (in which it's clear he's literally transported to other star systems) is more dubious (although the aliens who did it ''are'' [[Sufficiently Advanced Aliens|sufficiently advanced]]).
** In ''3001: The Final Odyssey'', Clarke [[Retcon|retconned]] the first novel's [[FTL]] travel as being all in Dave Bowman's head.
*** Clarke is ambiguous about whether 2010, 2061 or 3001 retcon anything. In the author's notes for 2061, Clarke indicates that the novels may involve the same characters and the same situations, but the novels do not *necessarily* happen in the same universe. So, either everything's retcons or it's parallel universes. Or we need to talk to Mr Schrodinger about his cat.
* ''[[Outland (Film)|Outland]]''
* ''[[Robo Cop]]''
* ''[[The Matrix]]'' series was at least making an effort, at least before [[Executive Meddling]] rejected the original [[Wetware CPU|humans-as-distributed-processors]] explanation as [[Viewers
* ''[[Destination Moon]]'' (no relation to the ''[[Tintin (Comic Book)]]'' comic aside from the subject matter) and ''[[Project Moonbase]].'' Both these movies had [[Robert A. Heinlein]] as a consultant and were very realistic.
* ''[[Moon Zero Two]],'' a space adventure movie Hammer made in the 70s. It's meticulously realistic, the only thing it has that is a little iffy scientifically is [[Artificial Gravity]], which they only inserted because they didn't have enough money to do moon gravity effects for the entire movie.
* ''[[Moon (Film)|Moon]]''
Line 50:
* There are many, many examples in [[Speculative Fiction]] literature, and indeed many books and short stories were pretty explicitly written to popularise real scientific and technological issues. Some examples have therefore dated badly as [[Science Marches On]]. A very partial list would include:
* [[Arthur C. Clarke (Creator)]]:
** "A Fall Of Moondust"
** ''Imperial Earth''
