[QUOTE]Originally posted by Mark Nguyen: [QB] Well, in THAT case you have to start doing stuff like questioning the design of the stargate in the first place, like why the backup activation procedure involves the PHYSICAL dialing of a GIANT STONE RING... OTOH, it could simply be rooted in cultural carryovers. For example, car lanes and train tracks have always been that wide, because that's how wide a lane you'd need to maneuver a two-horse carriage. The stargate, designed to carry both people and people-carried cargo, was probably meant to be big enough to get four or five people through abreast. It probably wasn't designed for large cargo or beasts of burden, or else more of the alien planets we've seen would have actual RAMPS instead of stone steps up to their gates... Then again, they may have had the idea for puddle jumpers from the beginning (as was shown in the Atlantis pilot, they had jumpers "several million years ago"). Mark [/QB][/QUOTE]
