	While plausible, that's clearly ''not'' the implication of the on-screen events, IMO. --[[User:~~Peter Farago~~\|~~Peter Farago~~]] 12:32, 27 September 2005 (EDT)		While plausible, that's clearly ''not'' the implication of the on-screen events, IMO. --[[User:April Arcus\|April Arcus]] 12:32, 27 September 2005 (EDT)

	I believe the article is taking the term "spun up" too literally here. For example, in the film "Crimson Tide," USS ''Alabama'' had to 'spin up' her missiles before firing them. I think this is another instance of RDM and others using random military jargon to make the show more authentic without putting much thought into the matter.--[[User:SOLDIERofficer81\|SOLDIERofficer81]] 20:32, 7 September 2006 (CDT)		I believe the article is taking the term "spun up" too literally here.

	:The term "technology" is more specific in the matter of hardware and software used to ''create'' a system (where technologies or processes combine to form a unified process, such as a pond, or a habitable spacecraft). FTL consists of the drives, the navigation controls, the drive controls, etc. I'd also remind you that we haven't seen everything of the FTL system, so we can't fully break it down to "technology." I'd leave it at "systems" for this reason--it's sufficiently general while being neither too vague or too specific.

			:Your idea seems generally correct, Serenity. Celestial objects move all the time, so new fixes are needed for where things are ''at that moment'', or drift will cause a difference in the jump that would place ''Galactica'' closer, but still in the wrong place, despite the knowledge of the specific celestial objects used to do the initial calculation. --[[User:Spencerian\|Spencerian]] 14:01, 5 September 2006 (CDT)
