Someone on James's blog pointed out a 1990 soap opera set in space that I never heard of before, the British Jupiter Moon. Call it a Spoapce Opera. It's set on a school orbiting Callisto, while a cisjovian project is constructing a starship.
IMDB has 36 episodes you can watch(Hulu is involved somehow). Science advisor was the British Interplanetary Society's stalwart Bob Parkinson. So the starship is called Daedalus and its target is "Parkinson's Star."
I watched one episode. It had some hard-SF ideas sprinkled in. I don't think I care to spend eighteen hours on this (or more-- someone said there are 100 episodes).

Definitely something Serge will want to sample.
