The ladder came from the prop department. The prop department also got the helmets out of the way after they took them off.
That depends on the size of your canon.D:
So how fast did Prometheus travel on average? Assume 1 day is 24 hours, not 36 hours. Note: 2092 is a leap year.
Distance - 3.27 x10 (to the 14th) kilometers.
Time - 2 years, 4 months, 18 days, 36 hours, 15 minutes.
I think they went back in time when they arrived at LV-223. ^_^
Light-year
9.4607×10 (to the 12th) km

This is pretty roundish, and I didn't include leap years, but they went just under 15 times the speed of light on average, with a peak speed of something much higher to account for acceleration and deceleration.
So my understanding of this is, when you hit C, time nearly stops for you relative to everything else. You wouldn't travel backwards in time though, in fact quite the opposite, you would travel to the future much faster than everything else.
So how do you hit a group of stars (a relatively tiny area), 35 light years away, which they can not know the precise motion of, and which will be millions (thousands, billions??) of years removed from where you saw it when you left?
Can some math geek please come explain this?
Also, why do they call 35 light years "so far away", when that is pretty much in our back yard in the grand scheme of things?
going to watch this tonight, hope to enjoy it! I like visual feasts like THX and such, should be a no brainer for me
Prometheus lands on DVD and Blu-ray this week, and a new Easter egg on the disc hints at a possible link between with Ridley Scotts earlier sci-fi triumph, Blade Runner.
The DVD is hiding a screens worth of text written by Guy Pearces Peter Weyland, who makes reference to a mentor and long-departed competitor.
You can take a look at the message in full below. See if you can work out just who hes talking about
Anyone who came up with the name Eldon Tyrell, give yourself a gold star, as it is clearly the creator of the replicants that Weyland is referring to. Pretty cool, no?

I didnt realize this came out yesterday. Will be grabbing this tonight along with a cheapie BR player.
Yeah awesome. I can't wait for him to ruin that franchise as well.
Edit: I just checked IMDB, and it appears he is busy ruining it right now.
I just can't understand how you make Alien, Blade Runner, Thelma and Louise, and this garbage.
You forgot "The Duellists", an extraordinary movie: his first (!) and a triumph at Cannes.
And yes, I didn't like "Prometheus". A lot of wasted potential.
