Keep in mind that he resolution seen in the photos released from AMOS
may not be as detailed as possible. Either way, you're right. It would
have been rough. There is the possibility that Atlantis could have
been preped and sent to join her in less than 2 week, but it would
have been very hard. A lot of short cuts would have had to be made.
