I've watched Battlestar Galactica and they really do stick to "no sound 
in space", although, if you're inside a ship or, as Warp mentioned, 
you're in for the ride along one of the pilots, you can hear their 
ship's sounds, e.g. breaking, impacts etc.
Generally, I really like how most of what happens in their space fights 
is filled with music, not big explosions, even though the images are 
really awesome and have depth I've seldom seen even in big movie 
productions.

Regards,
Tim
