There's a list on TVtropes. Maybe Event Horizon would qualify? (Or Moonraker? :) -- (link) - Roger More Jun 7, 13:28
Depends on how far into the future you go with it. The Martian isn't far future and the book - TWuG Jun 7, 12:56 3
- but I'm sure that I've come across what I (poorly) described on B2 in fiction somewhere .. - mud Jun 7, 13:01 2
  - Possibly. I'm not sure I've encountered it. - TWuG Jun 7, 13:10 1
    - I think 2010 addressed this. We need to summon notnub. "notnub! notnub! notnub!" -- nm - mud Jun 7, 13:11
Interstellar ... -- nm - Beryllium Jun 7, 12:51 10
- Interstellar had artificial gravity? -- nm - JD Jun 7, 12:57 9
  - Yes, it did. -- nm - Beryllium Jun 7, 12:59 1
    - er, wait. I think I may have mis-understood the topic / question -- (edited) - JD Jun 7, 13:05
  - Interstellar wasn't hard scifi -- nm - mud Jun 7, 12:58 6
    - It's listed on Wikipedia as such -- nm - Beryllium Jun 7, 13:02 1
      - really? maybe I stand corrected, but I don't stand on Sundays. It's my horizontal day -- nm - mud Jun 7, 13:04
    - Why not? -- nm - Beryllium Jun 7, 13:00 3
      - too much speculative mumbo jumbo. Hard scifi will only use available tech (or whatnot) -- nm - mud Jun 7, 13:03 2
        
        Strong adherence to science and technical detail. I haven't seen Interstellar - TWuG Jun 7, 13:12 1
        
        There were a few broad strokes, but they tried to keep it accurate -- nm - Beryllium Jun 7, 13:14
