the greatness of our very own solar system

[AsgardCarnage]

is it just me or is it weird that we havn't even heard a word about the promethius going to the planets in our own system. as if one of the first things would do if u had a space ship capable of interstellar travel is go to mars and check it out, or go to pluto and see whats really happening out there.

the cheap way is just to say "the promy is back, and wouldn't u know it no life on mars, dang" but it could be an interesting ep. goto pluto to find it is made of naquada. or find an abandoned gou'ld space station orbiting jupiter? or an ancient ZPM factory on uranus?

maybe its just me but i find it a bit weird we havn't even heard word of them trying to answer the big questions we have a bout our own backyard.

for one thing, i don't htink theyd do an episode about pluto being made of naqueda. in the episode "failsafe" where anubis sent in a huge asteroid mine to destroy earth, made of naqueda, they said our solar system was devoid of naqueda. even if pluto was made of the stuff, anubis just would have sent it as an asteroid instead. but i do like the idea and all about using our 303 to go to planets just next door. hey, maybe anients were the ones who once inhabited mars.

That's a good frikkin point! It would sure make the colonization of our solar system's more "viable" or "human friendly" planets a lot easier!

[Ramne]

They would either have to keep anything found a secret, or try to explain to the public/scientific community at large how they obtained such knowlede. Or maybe they are just lazy!

[rmbeast]

If i had a ship the first thing i would do is go to all of our planets.

[Starlilica]

It'd be cool, yes, but remember that our solar system is virtually unknown. They'd have to make up a lot of stuff, and I don't think their up to it yet. Besides, what is we need it real fast? Perhaps later, when the Goa'ulds are gone......

[aschen]

Actually, our core solar system is pretty well known. Most of what we don't know of lies outside, and within the Kuiper belt. At that sort of a distance though, you're not really going to find much except frozen ice chunks.

[Janus]

I just had an idea.
Why don't we give one of our planets (or one of their moons) to the Tok'Ra ?
No, I'm serious.
Because we have the Ancient outpost, the Goa'uld don't dare to come into our system.
The Tok'Ra would finally have a base that the Goa'uld would never find.

[aschen]

We're not allied with the Tok'Ra anymore, and they would probably want to keep up the "Fight against the Goa'uld."

That's a good idea! I vote to give them Europa, and give the Jaffa resistance a seperate moon, so then they wont have to deal with each other

No offence to any poster on this thread, but I don't think an episode of the Prometheus taking a cruise around the solar system would be too interesting. The Prometheus will show up in opportunities for action, such as Lost City. Routine science expiditions my happen in the Stargate SG-1 universe, but we don't see any of them, for the most part, on the show.

Who said anything about making an ep out of it?

But one of the problems they kept having was that the Goa'uld bombared their bases to pieces.
And this could be our ticket to glue-ing the Alliance back together.
Plus, since Tok'Ra bases are underground, the conditions on the surface don't matter.

considering that they have the capability to go to thousands of inhabitable planets, many with populations, in this galaxy and (with enough power) other galaxies, i dont think a couple of gas giants and lumps of rock will be that much an interest of the SGC.

they may as well let nasa keep thinking that the universe is bare of life instead of wasting valuble cruising time on the feeble Sol system.

infact thats a thought - do NASA know of the Stargate Program or are they blissfully ignorant?

They better not tunnel too deep either, as Europa may have liquid water under all that ice. On second thought, that would be kind of amusing Maybe put the jaffa on say...Io?
