Because, as Lister-mun said, Red Dwarf is not as mainstream as it should be and Ace isn't exactly a main character, he gets an in journal rant too. Spoiler warnings, because I feel I should warn you for the book Backwards, and the episodes Dimension Jump and Stoke me a Clipper. Thank you.

Were anyone to break into Ace's ship at now, they would probably be somewhat suprised by the makings of a small in-ship flower garden.

A purple swirly thing (for the lack of better or more appropriate description) opens up, and out of it a small red ship appears. The ship, is the wild fire. It's captain, and only passanger, Ace Rimmer. He is writing his log, it is going with several decades of other Ace Rimmer logs.
