	As for the time, I'm afraid the staff might not actually know that constellations shift. Although, do they really shift a lot in 150,000 years? That's not much in cosmic time, right? I'm unaware how fast it happens. Though, on the other hand, they might be aware. The characters never said the Ancient Earth II had the Tomb constellations, which you'd think they would comment on.		::::::As for the time, I'm afraid the staff might not actually know that constellations shift.

	:Grazier: There’s two. There’s one that I recognized too late. That was when the explosion in [[Water]] blew out the side of the [Galactica] and we have a big venting of water. [Galactica] was connected to the Virgon Express. That would have imparted a pretty healthy delta v [change in velocity], meaning it would have yanked the Virgon Express with [the Galactica] and probably broken the water lines. I didn’t think of that until too late, and I called and said “hang on!” and they said “that ship’s sailed, sorry.” That was the second episode and I was a baby science advisor then. '''The other one is I wish I would have been more insistent with the constellations in [[Home Part II]]. Because when you start thinking about those constellations, who put them there? Wasn’t the Kobolians. Those aren’t seen from the original Earth, so where did those constellations come from?'''		:Grazier: There’s two. There’s one that I recognized too late.
