A major influence on the Elite Universe is the 1968 epic science-fiction film [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/2001:_A_Space_Odyssey_(film) 2001: A Space Odyssey] produced by [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Stanley_Kubrick Stanley Kubrick]. This is evident in the ringed [[Orbis]] station design and the [[Docking Computer|docking computer]] that plays the waltz [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Blue_Danube The Blue Danube] by [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Johann_Strauss_II Johann Strauss II] in the original Elite and Elite Dangerous.<ref name=":0" /> This movie is representative work of hard science fiction films. 2001 was made to be as scientifically correct as possible. Hence no sound in space, walking in zero-gravity requires velcro-equipped shoes etc. The Elite Universe follows that ethos to a degree. | A major influence on the Elite Universe is the 1968 epic science-fiction film [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/2001:_A_Space_Odyssey_(film) 2001: A Space Odyssey] produced by [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Stanley_Kubrick Stanley Kubrick].
