Well just knowing that something exists is sometimes motivation enough to make it happen. The novans didn't exactly start life thinking that woman was created from a mans rib. Or that the world was flat. I'm still waiting on my flying car BTW. At this point I'll settle on a solar one. At $4 a gallon, do I have a choice?

I think you also have to look at the demands and needs of their society. To build hyperdrive and FTL tech, you have to have a demand for it. At the time, the population was very small, and the demand was not to explore, but to survive. That meant spending a lot of resource and tech in developing medical technologies. Additionally, the scientist on board the ship weren't hyperdrive specialist. Eli isn't even a PhD. He can calculate things, but in no means was he taught how the technologies work.

We may be able to bodge them together when we've got aliens or their tech to use, but i dont htink we can build them from scratch.

Not many People on Earth could actually explain a Hyperdrive from Scratch, the Crew from Destiny sure had some Info, but would it be enough for a solid research material?

Didn't earth got their hyperdrive directly from the Asgards for SG1 saving Thor? I believe earth's early hyperdrives didn't do that well with the instability of Naquadria. I believe we didn't get viable FTL technology until the Asgards installed one on earth's first ship and then earth just copy the hyperdrive engine design wholesale for the other ships while they learn how it worked.
