Weyland Yutani (or in Prometheus' case just Weyland) Are a bunch of greedy, devious sods, we all know that, and they will stop at nothing to get what they want. There has been alot of talk about the Engineers/Space Jockeys using terraforming, who is to say that the tech for it wasnt stolen from them by Weyland? like I said, I could be wrong but I think its a sound theory and could fit quite well.

AE,
Everything organic that has a life cycle has genetic memory. We pass the color of our eyes onto our children, our inherited diseases, hairloss, speech impediments, etc. Inside our gene's we record our surroundings via radiation levels we live in everyday, the types of food we eat, etc. This all gets stored and passed on through suttle mutations, so what makes memory any different? Nothing. Science today can trace our origins back a millenia to a bottle neck that they think occurred around the time of the biblical flood.

SYH,
I think Terraforming had been around for a long while prior to Aliens. The Company Terraforming LV-426 was a cover to use to find the Derelict that the Nostromo found. What bothers me is what happened to the signal between the movies.
1.Why did the Derelict suddenly stop sending the signal or did it?
2. During Aliens I think the company was at Hadley's hope the entire time monitoring the marine-xeno interaction. At the very least sent a team prior to the marines showing up there. I don't think the xeno's cut the power I think the company did, prior to the Xeno assault. Does anyone have any info on this from the script or excerpts?
Cameron never did show any exploration of the derelict which I so wanted to see. You got to see a crack in the side with convoluted platic drainage tubing with wires in. A real classic there and thats it. Also how did Newt's dad get face hugged but not her mom, really?
Ok, Time to get back on subject.
Rick
