 Arthur C. Clarke, 2001: Ends in LSD trip, by consensus (talk page) not hard sf, Fall of Moondust is better ACC hard sf example
 The Expanse, as the stories violate the hell out of physics – should never have been added in the first place; see talk page, but essentially even author says it's not hard SF.
Replacing The Rolling Stones for Heinlein's Moon is a Harsh Mistress. Better example of in-depth hard SF and also a mid-'60s example.
