What would affect their chances are: the range of their sensors, the speed of the vehicle, and the size/detectability of the Engineers' ships, which are quite large, and we later find out that there was more than one. I mean, if there were a half dozen ships located around the mountain, then a fast ship with very good sensors might have a good chance of finding one of them fairly quickly. | |

Despite you efforts, for me it is just hard to explain how such tiny ship compared to planets size can just enter the atmosphere into the right place. I was just looking for something that i have missed, sad its nothing there, maybe Ridley Scott wants it this way, quick jump to action. Still a great movie to me. | |
