Line 91:

* In [[Peter F. Hamilton]]'s ''Night's Dawn'' an alien race, inhabiting massive "cities" orbiting a [[red giant]], uses a Bussard ramjet with an [[electromagnetic]] scoop. It does not only gather [[hydrogen]] for propulsion, but also heavier atoms as an alternative to [[mining]].

* In [[Red Dwarf]], the titular craft has a large 'Hydrogen Scoop' on the front and the books make reference to it gathering fuel directly from space- presumably a Bussard Ramjet of some sort.
