You could question the realism of space gods uplifting apes with space magic, but this thread is mainly concerned with fictional, but realistic spacecraft. Kubrick also made The Shining, with various loose ends that heavily suggested spiritual and/or magical factors at work.I maintain Discovery offers a broadly realistic spacecraft, with a mostly credible (the spinning section should have been larger) solution for artificial gravity and a configuration that kept the crew at a distance from the reactor's radiation. It should have kept its radiators, though. In all, 2001 offers a believable technological backdrop to a story that I admit has major magical elements. I still love it.
