> Furthermore, this screenshot shows that the Nostromo has a refinement capacity of “200,000,000 tonnes”, and not the “20,000,000 tons” mentioned in the Foreshadowing Inventory. That’s not just a factor of ten out – it’s also an entirely different unit of measurement.
"Haha. Boy, I really hope somebody got fired for that blunder."

- jayd16 5y agoI wonder if its plot relevant. Its an empty tanker ship. You'd risk that over a full one. This was also the last leg of the contract for the crew. Does that mean that Wayland-Yutani is actually exporting more minerals from Earth than importing?
- codazoda 5y agoAhem, Waylan Yutani. :P
- smcl 5y agoYou're actually both mistaken. It was referred to both as Weyland-Yutani and Weylan-Yutani (note: wEy not wAy). It's an easy mistake to make :)
- hef19898 5y agoGood catch! And a very nice fun fact. If so, or if that run was a bust, I wonder why WY was pissed at Ripley for blowing it up. Insurance money is good.
