The crew is sure messing up the ship real good. That ship was so peaceful and doing a great job on its own for millions of years until all those crazy humans boarded it. This episode goes to show how damaging it has been to take the ship off its predefined path to places it doesn't belong.

Now go on, pop in your SG-1 dvd and rewatch Torment of Tantalus with Destiny and its mission in mind THEN come back and tell me we shouldn't be there.

Well, I suppose it's one of those "If Helen Keller fell in the forest, would she make a sound?" type of questions.
If the humans had never reached Destiny would it have been able to last against the constant attacks of the blue aliens? Given their ability to follow Destiny across several galaxies, and considering Destiny's state of repair upon the arrival of the refugees from Icarus, I would think Destiny's days were already numbered.

G.Go for Marty...

Hmmm, I don't know, Destiny was falling apart already, it's old, the ship could only go so far without some sort of maintenance. Even if Destiny has a good number of those maintenance robots, it looked like they were inert as they found one in that storage room.
The weapons systems were repaired by the humans so that must help Destiny, which was, until their arrival relying on shields, a failing weapons system and jumping into FTL to defend itself. It was remarked that the ship showed signs of battle damage.
The ship was always meant to have a crew and I think the humans are doing a reasonable job considering. As for taking the ship off course, they are human, "we are a curious race" as Jack O'Neill remarked to the Asgard in 'The Fifth Race'. Destiny, for all that it has an AI of sorts, it probably couldn't make that decision to check out the energy signature in the hope that there could be technology to salvage and help aid repairs to Destiny.
Destiny was sent out there to explore the universe, a ship on its own wouldn't appreciate that, you need that crew!

I can tell you why in three words or one SG-1 episode: Torment of Tantalus. What good is having something great if you cant use it or share it? Destiny flying around taking readings and doing its thing by itself without us, while great, is absolutely useless. That ship was sent out there for a reason, to figure out the meaning of existence and give US the answer. Sure, Destiny can fly around for millions more years and probably succeed in gathering all the data it needs but what good is it if that data never gets to us? In the words of Daniel Jackson, "this is meaning of life stuff!"
Now go on, pop in your SG-1 dvd and rewatch Torment of Tantalus with Destiny and its mission in mind THEN come back and tell me we shouldn't be there.
