hi guys well many ppl have different ideas about how old the destiny is well i found out from joseph mallozzi's web site that when rush in the first Episode said "this ship is hundreds of thousands of years old" was a mistake by the actors/writers Joseph has said that destiny is minimally 50 million years old yes u read it rite 50 million years old so its older than earths stargate and atlantis check Joseph Mallozzis web-blog out.
