Two minor things, the Red Dwarf is facing the wrong way and the Battlestar Galactica is the wrong picture for either the new or old series. Its a fan creation crossover between Star Trek and BSG.

Captain Hollister warned Lister,a lose animal just has to nibble on the wrong wires and the next thing they know they're flying backwards.

They don't travle faster the light, they use shortcuts.

> They don't travle faster the light, they use shortcuts.

They also go at the "speed of plot", which is hard to put in a graph.

I'm not sure of their source for the acceleration on the Orion Drive vessel – that's a little high.

But it's the only thing on there that's buildable, and capable of interplanetary travel.
