Watching Ripley actually setting the destruct sequence she does a lot of physical manual input. Makes me think that it’s designed so that mother can’t set it or intervene.
Which makes you wonder if a ship's computer "accidentally" blew up a ship or two prior to the events of Alien. So it was decided that the act of setting the self-destruct was taken out of the ship's hands.
Well, the scuttling process means intentionally putting the reactor into a faulty state, so you better be damn sure you want the ship to blow up rather that there's a cooling failure.
For the visual starting at 3:46, the Narcissus should be going backwards or still or moving forward a bit because of the momentum and the Nostromo should be going forward because the Narcissus did not rocket away from the Nostromo, it was dropped. So, the reactor core would have been dropped as well within the few seconds.
I always thought it would be great to discover the Refinery had survived the blast and somehow had an egg on board. A really cool film could be made of a drifting space pirate finding the refinery, boarding it and a whole survival adventure starts.
I'm pretty sure that in Alan Dean Foster's novelisation, the three destructive explosions are attributed to the engines first, followed by the Nostromo then the refinery, implying the whole show was blown to smithereens. Correct me if I'm wrong... I haven't read it in a long time ⌚
3 stage weapon a uranium fission explosion to create a plutonium/hydrogen fusion explosion to a deryllium/cobalt 2nd stage fusion explosion. Russia has these warheads on the SS20 SATAN MISSILES AT 30 MEGATON today.
Good video. They're grasping at air though here. Ship was incinerated in front of your face in the movie. Flight recorder was just set to eject beforehand.
If you watch the film closely there are two explosions. First the Nostromo's engines overheat and detonate. Then the refinery blew. The destruction of the Nostromo was so complete that WY's initial attempt to salvage the flight recorder met with complete failure. It ended up getting picked up by the Anisidora 15 years later drifting through space. One heck of a rumor. But if true WY was way ahead of the game. Too ahead however to spend 57 years looking for where the Nostromo set down. Nice theory but nearly ALL the evidence suggests otherwise.
Could MOTHER possibly have dumped the reactor fuel which might have caused the blast then moved the ship in such a way to use the refinery as a shield?
What if ash during the events of ALIEN created a program to somewhat stunt the self destruct system of the NOSTROMO to protect the XENOMORPH onboard in the event that the self destruct was ever activated leaving small parts of the NOSTROMO still drifting in space while possibly harboring some xenomorphic material!
Has anyone considered the possibility of temporal displacement? The Nostromo was equipped with FTL after all, and that detonation looked more than nuclear to me…
@@ProjectACHERON sorry I've been busy with planning for big trip to help a family member also dealing with long-term covid symptoms and trying to fix aliens fireteam on Discord which I finally got banned from for the 4th time... but I think I'm going to retire from that LOL
I do believe that it didn't... i think it's even canon that it didn't, but if it was to be retconned or explained, it would be a shipwreck at the very least! ;O
What planet was the Nostromus bringing back mineral pre back from ? It sounds in the post like Venus, but obviously that wouldn't be the case ! So what was the name please ?
even if mother couldnt eject the core the ship was towing the refinery so she may possibly have detached from that & that could have survived ,,, or at stretch that could have exploded & not the nostromo
Those 2 Rolls Royce engines has almost 600 kilograms of plutonium each. Roughly a 790 Gigaton atomic bomb each energy. So I doubt anything survived. Not a thing.
Even if 2 protect itself n' d Company starship AI could have activated d detachment of reactor, d maxive blast from it would cause severe damages. U know everything is poxible but it's very unlikely. Something more we could know investigating what Anisedora had be able 2 recording about Nostromo incident, tho ...
@@ProjectACHERON got it but u know never say never so I like d idea that in case of emergency in order 2 save an x3mely xpensive piece of hardware like d Nostromo, WY designers could have created an innovative secret technology known only by d Company I guess.
Found out you made a few mistakes. The Nostromo was not a mineral ship it was a Refinery it was refining oil for Earth. That is in the first Handbook of alien if you can get ahold of one you will find that out to be true. Second thing the explosion that took the ship out you had five minutes before The Final Countdown to stop it Ripley wasn't in time and it
People really hate this theory. I think it's perfectly amusing. It's really just something that gets thrown around for fun. Leave the outrage at the door please.
Really stupid theory based on pretty much nothing and even had to invent things to make it possible (such as a ejection of the reactor core) also fairly certain Muthur cant actually detect if the xenomorph is even on board. If she could surely the crew would have used that to their advantage instead of creating a motion tracker in order to find the creature.
I guess a top class vessel with its advanced AI, could find an ET life form wherever it hides due 2 a large net of sensors all over d starship but d Nostromo AI likely turned that system off cuz WY special order 937 dictated d preservation of xenomorph whatever it takes.

Yeah thats a very good point to make!

The flight recorder that was recovered was on board the lifeboat Ridley was on, not ejected from the Nostromo itself.

If the Nostromo is still around, that means Brett and Dallas have turned into eggs or ALIENS.
yeah its possible

Yes i agree that why i made sure to state that it was a very far fetched theory. fun idea to tear shreds off of though hah
Awesome breakdown & deductions.
I think a few other might have the same idea I have, some of it did survive or at least some wreckage of the ship or the refinery it was towing.
Yeah its very possible
Great theories as usual.
Thanks, glad you enjoyed the video

hey this is the kind of theories that i like to hear!!
Has anyone considered the possibility of temporal displacement? The Nostromo was equipped with FTL after all, and that detonation looked more than nuclear to me…
Yeah I mean thats a very really interesting idea and something I think could be very possible

@Daniele Fabbro th-cam.com/video/HUMGc8hEkpc/w-d-xo.html
If the nostromo had ftl drives why would it take another 10 months to get back to earth, as lambert sets out to the crew?
@Daniele Fabbro I see my friend, I wasn't sure how it worked
I don't think that it survived from those explosions, but i think that there was left with a lot of debris and parts of Nostromo in the planets orbit.
For years I thought the refinery was the ship. Anyone know if they were every in the refinery in the film?
I think they stayed in the nostromo and didn't get into the refinery
I may be mistaken but I remember the scene where Ripley finds and incinerates Dallas and Brett being in the refinery.
@@wretchardkimball9049 I think that happened in the Nostromos hold. Though thankyou very much, I didn't even know that scene existed 😁
I’m for it

i dont like alien blurays that show the alien on it
Nostromos is EXCELLENT
I VOTE SAVE THE NOSTROMOS
Why is this actually a video / discussion we all see it blow, we heard Ripley say ship and cargo destroyed, did we not?
Ok

The reactors are sadly built into the ship, just like how the engine of car chant just be ejected

Very unlikely anything survived possible ships mainframe AI blackbox if siffiecently shielded and had sufficient propulsion and rescue beacon maybe
yeah who knows

You do you

Thank you that exactly how I see it
This theory is false, Ripley detached from the ship seconds before the explosion.
