LV-223 air[]
CO2 is not carbon monoxide. That's CO. CO2 is carbon dioxide.

You're right, of course. However, 3% of CO2 would not affect any human very much. The lethal concentration (death in 30 minutes) is 10%. CO on the other hand would have exactly the effects described in the movie.
Sign your posts please, the information on what was in the atmosphere was in the flilm prometheus I believe, it shows up on a screen or holo-screen. The Cruentus (talk) (Contribs) 13:10, October 15, 2012 (UTC)
Gliese 86 or Zeta 2 Reticuli?[]
So, if this planet belongs to Gliese 86 star system, it wont be part of Zeta Reticuli system. It is another star and even another constellation although these stars are not far from each other.Kiseijuu (talk) (Contribs) 15:06, October 25, 2012 (UTC)
Well what does the other media (games, comics, novels) say about the system that LV-223 belongs to? try to find details and you will have your answer unless of course there is other info to contradict it. The Cruentus (talk) (Contribs) 15:20, October 25, 2012 (UTC)
The movie dialogue clearly establishes that the Prometheur is some 34.6 light years from Earth when it enters the LV-223 system. So I have deleted the Zeta Reticuli references from now ... looks like Iota Persei is the only sun like star in the vicinity. 89.13.229.42 21:41, December 15, 2012 (UTC)
scientific error[]
clearly someone making the film mistook Carbon Dioxide for Carbon Monoxide . . . but . . . we gotta put down what the film said, even if it is scientifically inaccurate. Maybe things just work different in the aliens universe :I so someone should fix this article to reflect the broken science of the universe. ralok (talk) (Contribs) 03:40, February 26, 2013 (UTC)
Comic Book vs. Film Canon[]
I'm not seeing the contradiction between comic book canon and film canon that is mentioned here in the article.
"The following comic book references cannot be viewed as official canon since it has been long-established in Aliens that all the colonists from Hadley's Hope -save Rebecca "Newt" Jorden- were dead, with Carter Burke being responsible for all 157 of them: "But they will know about it. From me. Just like they'll know that you are responsible for the deaths of 157 colonists. You sent them to that ship. I just checked the colony log, directive dated 6/12/79, signed Burke, Carter J. You sent them out there and you didn't even warn them. Why didn't you warn them, Burke?" -Ripley, from Aliens."
Which I assume to be in reference to:
"In 2179, eighty-six years after the Prometheus incident, a Xenomorph outbreak took place on another of Calpamos' moons, LV-426, the creatures having been stored away in egg form aboard another Engineer vessel that crashed there long ago. The creatures proceeded to wreak mass havoc on the native human terraforming colony of Hadley's Hope, and during the chaos, a group of colonists fled in a haste aboard a cargo freighter, the Onager."
The confusion here seems to be related to this exerpt from the Aliens plot summary:
"The Marines determine that the rest of the colonists are clustered in the nuclear-powered atmosphere processing station, where they find a large Alien nest filled with the bodies of the colonists, who have been cocooned to the walls as hosts for more Aliens."
And with these two from the Onager and LV-223 history sections:
"There were thirty-eight colonists, surveyors, and miners onboard when the Onager set down on the moon the company designated LV-223. At least six of them were dead inside of ten minutes. Some were dragged away screaming."
"The Xenomorphs on board the Onager subsequently massacred the escapees over the course of several days. The Xenomorphs were then given free reign over the world, and quickly adapted to their new environment."
Unless they really did go and take a body count of the whole colony in Aliens before blowing it up, rather than just taking the population and subtracting 1 for the survivor. They are still all dead.
