Line 16:
* [[Dirty Communists]]: Well, actually the [[Hammer and Sickle Removed For Your Protection|unnamed "enemies of Freedom"]], but we all know who they're meant to be.
* [[Dutch Angle]]: Used in the space station docking sequence to show that not every object in space approaches on the same plane.
* [[Hey ItsIt's That Guy]]: [[I Dreamof Jeannie|Dr. Bellows]] is General Greene.
* [[Hollywood Science]]: Averted. Though it does fall victim to [[Technology Marches On]], there's a [[Mundane Dogmatic|serious attempt]] to depict the future of space exploration as seen from the 1950's. A streamlined spaceship only takes them up to the space station, where another craft looking similar to the Apollo Lunar Module (though much larger) takes them the rest of the way. There's also [[Expospeak]] explanations of space flight and free fall.
* [[Perfectly Arranged Marriage]]: Moore is virtually ordered to propose to Briteis, because [[Values Dissonance|the public won't accept the implied hanky-panky of two young unmarried people of the opposite sex working in a close environment together for months]]. Fortunately neither of them are adverse to the idea.
Line 32:
* [[The Spymaster]]: Mr Roundtree
* [[Twenty Minutes Into the Future]]: The movie is set in 1970, which meant they were only a year out regarding the moon landing.
* [[What Could Have Been]]: Many of the Heinlein "juveniles" would have made stirring space adventures; certainly much better than [[Attack of the Killer Whatever|Attack Of The]] [[B -Movie]] [[Alien Invasion|From Outer Space]] plots ripped off from [[Pulp Magazine|Pulp Magazines]]. Unfortunately, apart from his contributions to ''[[Destination Moon]]'' (1950), this was the closest Hollywood ever got to adapting Heinlein's work for the screen.
* [[Zeerust]]: Finned single-stage-to-orbit [[Shiny -Looking Spaceships]], saucer-like space stations with artificial gravity, and cordless phones -- which are your standard 1950's black Bakelite phones with a curly aerial.
