    304 to Destiny?

    Hey Guys, havent been on ofrums for a while and havent found this subject as of yet but here goes!

    From SGA we know that a ZPM powered 304 can travel from Earth(Milky Way) to Lantea(Pegasus) in around 3 days, The Seige confirms this.
    Given the information from Air we can summise how many galaxies the destiny has been to and most importantly we should be able to distinguish its current location.

    Im not saying that its a simple matter of 20 Galaxies x 3 days, obviously there is a little more that that and greater distance's between galaxies however could a rescue mission on the Odyssey for example really not be on the cards?

    With the Asgard upgrades they would have no supplies issues and really if the journey was to take 2/3 years then surely it could be worth it just to get the crew home, obviously that would not happen as it would be a huge expense to go to in order to bring them back but surely the idea that destiny is unreachable is not the case, its just a very long drive!

    its not just that its a long drive they dont no where the drive is yes the people can get back to earth useing the stones but they dont no their exsact position and the ships is always moveing

        The Smurfs seemed to be able to track Destiny, and catch up to it between FTL jumps.

          This logic doesn't work. Galaxies bunched together in "Groups," which contain a few dozen galaxies, and "clusters," which contain several hundred galaxies. These groups and clusters are often separated by vast tracts of empty space.

          Both Pegasus and the Milky Way are in the Local Group, which means that they are relatively close to one another. Indeed, Pegasus is "only" 3 million light years from the Milky Way, whereas the Destiny is over a billion light-years away.

          It takes a ZPM-powered BC-304 four days to get from Milky Way to Pegasus. At this speed, it would take over three-and-a-half years to reach Destiny.

            regarding reaching destiny.

            i've done the calcs. there are two roads: either we sacrifice little and it takes an age, or we sacrifice a lot and do it in no-time. it should be obvious that the HWC wants to combine those two.

              Id agree with this, but of course who knows if the ZPM could keep the power levels up for that lenght of time, plus it would need to keep the power levels up for the way back so its a ZPM powering the engines full blast for 7 years basically... im sure there would be issues involving wear and tear and systems needing to be replaced etc. Even with the asgard advancements allowing them to make food and stuff, they'd probably need a lot of ZPMs to be able to do that.... lots and lots and lots of ZPMs... like loads!
              I dunno what to put in here now..

                3 million light years - 3 days.......several billion light years - 40 - 400 days

                and we dont know how much power is taken out of the zpm, im pretty sure they zpm can output a LOT of energy in a short amount of time but once you reach a point the power is drained.

                and they have NO clue where the destiny is. the map on destiny cannot be sent back to earth and they sure cant describe it to them. that and the universe has moved around since the destiny left.

                its just to risky and long term for them to send a multi-billion dollar ship off into the universe to save 80 people.....if the ship is suddenly needed to evacuate a world or protect earth, then what?

                  Simply for the record, your math is a bit off. Firstly, if 3 million light-years takes 3 days, that is 1 million light-years per day. Therefore, 40 days would result in a trip of 40 million light-years, while 400 days would result in a trip of 400 million light-years. However, even 1 billion years can be rewritten as 1,000 million light-years.

                  Also, it takes a ZPM-powered BC-304 four days, not three, to get from Milky Way to Pegasus.


                  Other than that, I agree with everything that you said.

                    fair enough then....

                    1000 days - 9000 days (we are assumeing that several refers to 1-9) which is 3 years - 27 years......
