* FTLTestBlunder:
** "{{Literature/Escape}}" has an attempt to have AI design a proper FTL ship. The first AI assigned breaks down at once. The second one goes a bit nuts, although it does deliver the ship (with a few practical jokes built in). That's because [[spoiler:the AI were both ThreeLawsCompliant, and FTL travel involved the human passengers not being technically alive while in transit.]]
** "Literature/{{Risk}}": Early tests of Hyper Base's new hyperspace drive reduce the transmitted matter to fine powder. After this issue is resolved it is tested on animals and while the animals are physically unharmed they come back completely mindless and unresponsive. Even worse, when they try a robot-piloted ship, the drive fails to engage at all. A human engineer has to board the ship and identify the malfunction so they can disable the hyperdrive, knowing that at any second the drive could engage and destroy his mind. [[spoiler:It turns out that the robot had simply broken the control lever by pulling it too hard.]]
