Why didn't they dial Earth when...

[ckwongau]

Why didn't they dial Earth when Destiny was still inside the sun, i mean if dialing Earth waste too much power .
Then it would be the perfect time to dial Earth while Destiny was re-charging inside the sun.
While Destiny still inside the sun, power should not be an issue, it is the time to find the point of orgin , that take a bit of time, the next time Destiny is still Sun dipping , they should dial Earth, but the intense gravity may create a portal to the past or the future.

We have the advantage of hindsight; they did not. Would you have thought "Oh, let's dial Earth!" while you watch your ship plunge headlong into a star?

and translating that heat and energy into the earth gate ??? that would suck

[Replicator Todd]

They might try it next time...there was too much fear of the fact they are flying INSIDE a sun!

[g.o.d]

I doubt Destiny absorbed that required ammount of the power needed to dial the Earth

They might not have absorbed the power to dial Earth but I have a feeling that the Destiny won't be having a power shortage now and that the primary systems will now be operating at nearly full capacity.

I don't think they had enough power to even try. Plus, wormholes and suns do funny and unexpected things. They would have known that much. But yeah, the ship should be fully powered now, allowing more access to different systems and parts of the ship.

Simple, gate safety protocol.

A stargate won't establish a wormhole in a situation where it would allow for the possibility of elemental materials to be picked up by the wormhole and deposited in a star. See "Red Sky" where a wormhole thru a star (A hacked gate that refused connections until Carter overrode it) introduced plutonium picked up in space by the wormhole into the K'tau sun, causing instability. .

The Asgard told O'neill it was a standard safety feature on all gates.

I wonder how long the ship has to go between charges.

[leiasky]

I want to know why they didn't use the Communication Stones for the people to say goodbye to their families like Young said to O'Neill would need to happen of they couldn't find a way to save themselves.

Sun + Wormhole = Time Travel.....

[AvatarIII]

Sun + Wormhole = Time Travel.....

i thought it had to be a solar flare!

i thought it had to be a solar flare!

I would think being inside a sun would be equivilant to a solar flare lol

I'm actually quite skeptical that Destiny, even with a force field, survived being crushed into a pin ball while it was travelling through the center of the Sun. If we nit pick at the realistic intensity of gravity at the center of the sun to cause nuclear fusion, then Destiny's got one of the best force fields of all time.
