Another "Galactica" reference
This was a couple years ago. The physicist Robert Zubrin in mentioned BSG in promoting his Mars Direct manned Mars misssion proposal. He said something to the effect that if we sent a robotic craft to Mars to produce a quantity of rocket fuel there, we would not have to build a huge "Battlestar Galactica" type spacecraft to get humans to Mars and back. Obviously Robert Zubrin correctly assumes that most people know what he he was referring to.
