Small detail: my recollection is that the Cylon bombs dropped on the planet were 50 megaton, while the anti-ship weapons such as hit the Galactica's port landing bay were 50 kiloton, 1000 times smaller. The fake blast that Apollo created was also recorded by the Galactica's instruments as a 50 kiloton blast. I still think that even a "mere" 50 kiloton blast, even in a vacuum, would have demolished the entire landing bay and very likely would have broken the ship clean in half, but that's artistic license, I suppose.
