15 Mind-Blowing Facts You Didn't Know About Red Dwarf

12. Jupiter Mining Corp On-Board Deep Space Nine

When you're a huge show like Red Dwarf, the fan love keeps on coming. Listed on the official Star Trek: Deep Space Nine promenade directory, alongside Dr. Julian Bashir's infirmary, Kelko's schoolroom and Pancho's Happy Bottom Riding Club is... The Jupiter Mining Corporation. Executive Producer Rick Berman was a huge Red Dwarf fan but technically speaking it's unlikely (if you suspend disbelief) that Big Red could ever have docked onboard the Starlet outpost as DS9 episodes were set from 2369 onwards while the JMC radiation leak aboard Red Dwarf took place sometime in the late 22nd century. Having said that, throw in Benjamin Sisko, a senile computer and a few nanobots and you never know what might happen. The Diva Droid Corporation are also listed, possibly a nod to C-3PO from Star Wars.
