My stupid iPhone game: Nesen Probe, it's rather old, annoying and pointless, but it's free.
Was free. Now it's gone. Never to be seen again.
Off to join its brother and sister apps that could not
keep up with the ever updating iOS. RIP Nesen Probe.

The ambulance from Ariel could. Years ago some fans raised money to save it from the junk yard, it now tours around at different nerd conventions.

No, they don't fly.
Sci-Fi Airshow: Guided Tour
For the film “2001: A Space Odyssey,” director Stanley Kubrick (famously averse to flying) had a second-unit crew, led by assistant cinematographer John Alcott, shoot exterior scenes of the Orion in space in the last weeks of October 1967; the live-action segments that took place in the weightless interior followed immediately thereafter. The actors aboard could only perform for short periods in the weightless environment of space before getting violently sick. Kubrick directed the actors and Alcott via a closed-circuit TV link furnished by Bell Telephone. Because of the motion sick actors, shooting the interior scenes went over schedule by over a week and the production had to double the size of the clean-up crew on the ground. The Orion was then stored in a hanger at London Heathrow Airport in case re-shoots were necessary. At the completion of the film, Pan Am took possession of the Orion, since the corporation had partially funded its construction, with MGM Studios picking up the remainder of the cost.
