Battlestar Galactica over a caprican city.



Below is the Battlestar Galactica.It is flying inside the atmosphere over a an unnamed Caprican city.Heading towards an unspecified  planet-based colonial dockyards.





The original Galactica could fly inside the atmosphere of a planet.At least i think it did in the comic books.To be specific Galactica 1980.

Anyway, i always liked how in star wars ,specifically in the prequel trilogy,  how the republic attack cruiser,acclamator class, could land on the surface of a planet.Even on water.

So i thought if the galactica could survive the extremes variations of space travel.Would it not be able to land on the surface of a planet ?Since it might need repairs or the crew require shore leave.

I know that in the nu galactica they had orbital shipyards at scorpia.And in the Rick Berman various Star Trek series they had the orbital utopia planitia shipyards.But in star trek (2009) the USS Enterprise was assembled in iowa, Earth.So there is a precedent for planetary landings of large spacecraft  in movie Sci-fi.

I used the konami battlestar galactica for this snap.It originally cost about ten pounds .It currently costs about 50 pounds including postage and packing on eBay and other places.

So supposing i don't have the konami galactica,what could i have spent the fifty pounds on instead?
To make the study simple i will limit the choice only to food.So in this case i could have spent that money on bags of Aunt Bessie's Homestyle Chips (1.6Kg) or any combinations of food  up to that price limit of fifty pounds.

Thanks for looking at my post.
