[QUOTE]Originally posted by Mark Nguyen: [QB] That's part of the problem: as it stands, the stargate isn't a practical tool to transport resources to Earth from elsewhere en masse. At least part of the SGC is permenantly assigned to survey locations for naquadah, and several episodes have dealt with that theme. But stargates, being open only 38 minutes at a time, in in the case of Earth needing to be a secret, doesn't make sense to use it to transport stuff around in large quantities. It doesn't help that right now Earth's gate is being used for exploration and military purposes almost full-time in conflicts against several enemies. Until Earth can develop a worthwhile interstellar merchant fleet (and have the existance of anything outside our solar system made public, natch), it's pretty much stuck for recon and transportation mostly people. If and when the Goa'uld cease to become the dominant threat out there, the SGC will have ample time to explore places in detail on a planetary scale. Mark [/QB][/QUOTE]
