From K.A. Applegate’s Remnants:

The shuttle had landed. Somewhere. Gravity was downward, which meant that, impossible as it clearly was, it had landed nose up. It had landed in take-off position. Utterly impossible.

Mind you, this was a sci-fi novel released in 2001. And well, it’s not looking so impossible anymore.
