	It seems an invalid assumption to state that the Galactica can
only attain light speed.  If this were the case it would have taken
many centuries to encounter all the planets that it did in the movie
and TV show.  I know that the movie mentioned "light speed" but he
could have been meening something like "enter_super_drive_that_
exeeds_light_speed_by_a_facter_of_10".  Somethink like Kirk saying
"Warp speed Mr. Sulu".

	Of course, even with the equivalent of warp speed, the Galactica
wouldn't have hope of destroying the Enterprise.  It would be atomic
particles before it could even scramble it's fighters.
