Perhaps Destiny is still not far enough out into the universe?

[Mr Evil 37]

In "Air", Rush mentioned that the Ancients launched Destiny millions of years ago, and planned to use the Stargate to get there when it was far enough out into the universe.

Well, maybe it still isn't far enough out for the Ancients to gate there? Maybe there is a small group of Ancients at some unknown location, who decided not to ascend because of the importance of Destiny's mission, and they have some way of tracking the ship. When it is far enough out, perhaps when it reaches it's destination, maybe they will then gate to the ship in order to finish the mission.

And since the Destiny Expedition is now in command of the ship, this could lead to some very interesting conflicts if a group of Ancients suddenly gate to the ship

I think it went too far out in the universe and they haven't planned for that. The ship seems durable and all but no one would have believed it was capable of surviving all those years.

hmm, but this does raise questions, maybe there is an Ascended ancients homeworld we dont know about

No. The navigational maps contradict this

Well according to the Sci-Fi Austrailia Blog *massive spoiler alert*

Spoiler:

the destiny has a destination of cosmic importance, so that's why they didn't go to the destiny.

Perhaps Destiny wasn't intended to be boarded at all. I'm thinking that the Ancients may have chosen to only board the ship if it was necessary (e.g. for repairs, a slight change in course if something new came up, to fight off unwanted residents etc) and the quarters are only there just incase. I think Destiny'simportance is the ship itself, as its own entity, not to take a crew somewhere.

Rush says that they learned to ascend before then and basically abandoned Destiny. I don't really see actual Ancients showing up. Maybe Ancient information but an appearance? I doubt it.

They also won't show up because Ascension was the most important thing for them, Destiny wasnt even important enough to be archived on Atlantis. I just hope SGU doesn't copy LOST's ending.

no, they didn't go to the Destiny, because they ascended/died

[Pharaoh Atem]

the destiny is going to seal the cracks

Maybe they want Destiny to ascend, so they have a ship to play with in Ascended-land...
