    Good point. The likelyhood anything survived is highly unlikely.

      Even lacking the density of a meteor, the hive ship has sufficient mass and speed to cause catastrophic damage to the facility, destroying the entire above ground structure and causing primary and immediate damage to the first few levels below ground. This would cause an overload of the facilities power systems and result in massive and numerous secondary failures including explosions and unrecoverable damage. The entire facility was powered up at the time of impact so the secondary damage would have involved every powered area and although we are still not aware of the control systems for ZPMs, there could have been an ultimate overload or feedback failure of one of more of them.

      Rodney stated while they watched from orbit that "that should do it".

      A facility that size would most likely rely on some kind of shield to protect it from any hostile actions and the system for that shield may not have been active or able to be activated if the cloning facility were running at maximum levels. If the shielding system was a separate system from the cloning, a separate ZPM would probably be needed for the shield and they probably would not have used it for the shield in order to maximize the cloning.
      Good point. We all know how talkative Rodney can be if there's even a slight chance something could go wrong. The curtness of that statement suggests that nothing would survive.

      Although I personally would like the team to recover one ZPM.

        Well like obviously that would be bad. Mainly because that would mean that he has enough troops to like send all around the galaxy and yet have enough to keep he company or somthing.
