The USS Prometheus is destroyed by an Ori Weapons Satellite in control of the RAND Protectorate on the Planet Teranus. Commander Col. Lionel Prendergast dies beaming off his crew to the planet.
I disagree, imagine you could go back to the 1500's and give them an F-22, they are smart people and would learn a lot but building one themselves? No not gonna happen. Even the Asgard had to fix the most basic design flaws beofre it could fly. The later F-304's were more advanced than Prometheus because they learnt from the mistakes they made and improved, even then the primary systems wered designed by the Asgard not earth.
