You ever think about how in universe, the Red Dwarf itself must have become a piece of folklore, a space-age Mary Celeste. A ship that fell entirely silent one day, where none of it inhabitants ever seen or heard from again, bound to get people's attention. Did anyone try looking for them? Were there lone space explorers who went out hunting, convinced they'd be the ones to fjnd the ship, only to return home empty-handed, or ended up lost themselves? Were there documentaries, songs, poems, and stories written about it? About what might have happened and who was to blame? Did anyone ever get close, or was everyone way off base? Did it become a horror story, a warning? Don't join the JMC, or you'll end up like the guys on the Red Dwarf. Did they get a memorial built somewhere
