--- Quote from: DSL on 22 Jan 2012, 15:38 ---So would HannerDad be Adama, Lee, Tigh, Doc Cottle or "No more Mr.Nice Gaius" Baltar?

Of the characters, Baltar. I mean Hannerdad is a scientist, the others are military men.

And Doc Cottle wouldn't abandon a daughter, I think.
Imagining the kind of dad Baltar would be would make me respect Hanners considerably and maybe have a little sympathy for Beatrice. Unless she's a Six.
QCSix?

If you're curious too, these are the best two articles I could come up with *cough* HERE and HERE.

There's this as well.
Also, I highly recommend astronaut Mike Mullane's book "Riding Rockets." His idea of The Right Stuff is much different from that of Tom Wolfe. Mullane's book and Mike Collins's "Carrying the Fire" are, for my money, the best of the astronaut memoirs. (Collins was one of the guys all by his lonesome on the far side of the moon. He addresses the topic at, er, hand in another book, "Liftoff!")

--- End quote ---
Well, it is approximately six to eight years old, depending on how long you believe has elapsed since strip #1.
