Anything beyond that is projection. If they wanted to show he thought it was ludicrous there are much clearer ways.

Like I think Kane was doing. 1200km is tiny.

Like I think Kane was doing. 1200km is tiny.Yeah, it's tiny, but not unusually so. Enceladus, the sixth-largest moon of Saturn, is only ~500km.
Quote from: Xenomrph on Feb 07, 2021, 07:04:12 PMThe problem isn't the size, it's its other properties if it's that small.They land a starship the length of a football field on it, get out and walk around normally, and see that it's got an atmosphere.
QuoteAt just 500 kilometres across, the moon's gravity is insufficient to keep hold of the water vapour for long. This means that a strong flow of water must continually replenish the atmosphere, suggesting that Enceladus may be volcanically active or possess steamy geysers.
Quote from: Xenomrph on Feb 07, 2021, 07:54:03 PMSlight difference between Enceladus' atmosphere and a breathable one. The bit you quoted even points out it can't hold the atmosphere, in opposition to what we see in the movies.

Quote from: Xenomrph on Feb 07, 2021, 08:10:06 PMThe point is that it shouldn't be able to hold it, atmosphere processor or not.And it still had a dense atmosphere as we see in 'Alien', it's just not breathable.
