According to my memory, characters often referred to the Galactica as
"going to light-speed". In the Star Trek Universe, this would be Warp 1.
The Enterprise (in the series) could do Warp 6 , which is more than six
times as fast as Warp 1 - Warp 1 is 1 X the speed of light , while
Warp 6 is 6^3 X the speed of light... If you think the old Enterprise
was bad , could you imagine what the new & improved Enterprise would 
do ?
