Anyone else notice that SGC predicted Atlantis would land in the middle of the ocean but they end up near the golden gate bridge...

The transcript indicates it's just the current position. I think that screen was up while they were makING the call or whatever to predict splashdown.When the time comes to utilize Earth's best weaponry against an ailen threat. The weapon that will ultimately prove to be Earth's best will be the Zatnikitel

I was thinking about all the hubbub about this. If they did move it after landing I think it makes sense. The probably wouldn't want it in international waters. I know the IOA is multi-national but from the perspective of the SGC wouldn't you want it close to home? Would you even want the possibility of some other country claiming it? Wouldn't you want it where your military could restrict access to the area? I have no idea how far out you have to be before you hit international waters so I basically I am talking out my rear end here.

"We are tracking them again, we should be able to project coordinates for splash-down"
at which point everyone in the room turned to look at the screen to see where it was gunna land.
But at the exact moment Major Davis said 'coordinates for splash-down' was the exact moment Atlantis started flashing on the screen, sort of like a title to make sure no one got confused as to what it meant.Last edited by bobsenior; 19 June 2009, 01:41 PM.sigpic
