[QUOTE]Originally posted by Reverend: [QB] [QUOTE]Originally posted by Timo: [qb] ...1996 technology like manned interplanetary travel, cryogenics and artificial gravity![/qb][/QUOTE]Good point, though that last one might also apply to the 20th Century cryosatellite from TNG. Mind you, Khan and the rest of the "Augments" were supposed to be as intelligent as they they were strong, so it's not much of a leap that they made advances in cryogenics, deep space propulsion, life support systems and aeronautics (along with, I imagine some rather nasty weapons) that were either lost in the war or classified and intentionally buried by the various governments that defeated them. But that's straying into conjecture. [QUOTE] I always figyred the DY-100's cargo pods would make planetfall -much like lifeboats do- and then be made of a modular construction so as to be the framework for the colony's first structures. The ship's stardrive is probably not salvaged, but it's power plant probably is. [/QUOTE]Certainly possible, though they don't look designed for the task. My pet theory would be that one of the pods had a small disassembled shuttle that they planned to reassemble in orbit of whatever planet they planned to settle on, leaving the rest of the ship as an satellite/outpost. But again I stray into speculation. [/QB][/QUOTE]
