Isn't space just a big convenient waste dump, though? I can't imagine the ships are getting filled with sewage, for instance. Not after what happened to the tour group here in Chi-town when Dave Matthews Band's bus driver decided to dump his tanks in the Chicago river. If they have enough water to wash hands, the chance of dystentery is pretty low. They are probably going to start getting stinky, soon, though, as they run out of deoderant, soap and the like.
How are they doing things like cooking? Washing? Sleeping? They've clearly had to have run out of prepared food by now and they haven't come up with handy replicator technology to whisk that all away like in Star Trek.
Somebody would have to be coordinating that. There would have to be manufacturing somewhere on some ships and food production elsewhere. There would have to be laundry eventually. BSG has all that stuff on board, and probably some of the luxury liner ships, too, and the prison ship. They'd have to coordinate that stuff. Who does that?
I would love to see a story about the Cylons tracking them from their waste trail.
