    I didn't notice, but maybe the interia bufffers were still wotking there (If you have artifical gravity, you should be able to do that, right?).

    I haven't watched this yet but if this is set years before the original
    Alien movie, how in hell do they explain the huge plot hole they created? In Alien and Aliens it was pointed out that humans had never encountered the Xenomorphs before.

    They haven't, but it explains why the replicant in the movie had orders to
    get samples.

    I suspect the incident will be covered up byh the corporations.
