Well there have been a few exceptions. There have even been a couple where the planet was above the spaceship (from the crews point of view). There may have even been one where the spaceships could not stop on a dime, turn around, and go the other direction instantly ingoring the laws of motion, inertia, orbital mechanics, etc. (I would love to have a patent on THAT technology). Oh well, maybe they really mean "fictional science" rather than "science fiction". Then there was that "after the bomb movie" on TV. You remember that one, don't you? The one where all technology was gone, before the animals died of radiation poisoning.
