I’m not sure if it’s ever stated that they did, but I always assumed they were created for the space gates in Pegasus. Since Atlantis was originally on Earth, then they could have had them - but I doubt it, as the technology seems to be more accustomed to the Lantean style of Ancient tech.
@@Gatetraveller1 I'm only going by the first episodes opening scene had a jumper flying over Antartica heading back to Atlantis just before they left for Pegasus.
It would be interesting to follow Janus & his travels, after the Lanteans/Ancients returned to earth. With their knowledge & abilities, it would be very interesting to see how they rebuilt, and how the culture evolved.
Puddle jumper was not a pun related to the gates. The term is commonly used in aeronautics defining a small plane usually used for jumping between smaller regional airports (from puddle to puddle). Sheppard's line of "a little puddle jumper like this" would make sense given that he was a pilot before the Atlantis expedition.
It's funny that no one ever talks about Janus being there watching everything that happened when O'Neill blew up Ares' ship. If what happened is written on the tablet he had to be flying around invisible to watch it. One glitch in the cloak is all we needed.
Speaking of Paddle Jumper, here when SG-1 discovers for the first time the jumper in somehow they go over the logs of the jumper, or from where it's coming, what was it's mission, if there another forgotten ancient ship base in this galaxy? In the context when they were looking for the technology to defend the earth they ended the series without any defence to protect humanity ones they were so loud about that.😂
Definitely possible. They must have done a chunk of the gate network and then realised that the Wraith developed the Darts that could dial the gates, so just stopped lifting gates into orbit. Could also be for Gating to planets that have toxic/unstable ground.
@@cernstormrunner7263 the Lanteans must have also cut off regular DHDs from being able to connect to space gates, as the gate network is a public access network, so I don’t imagine they’d like the Pegasus population accidentally entering space.
I think that it was a part of an experiment to see how civilizations developed isolated verses those that had access to interplanetary trade. Something like control groups.
The term “puddle jumper” had nothing to do with it going through the Stargate’s event horizon. It’s a common term for any short range aircraft and has been since the 1930s.
It was not originally named the Gate Ship as that moniker was only ascribed by one nerd and everyone hated it. The name was a shot down idea. Live long and suffer, friends.
I could be wrong but didn't they have puddle jumpers before they left for pegasus?

1:32 Later we find out the food replicator was under the seat, and that Turkey Sandwich has been rotting ever since.

You can kind of do that. If you follow the time jumper timeline in SG1, it’s implied that Janus created that one as well.
The Jumper is probably my favorite small-ship in sci-fi. The TARDIS doesn’t count.

I have heard that after making the video. It still works as a Stargate pun, and is properly a factor as to why the writers chose the name of the ship.
It's a self referential pun. The wormhole was called the puddle since it looks liquid. So the name works both ways.
@@Gatetraveller1just a coincidence. The stargate program is run by the US airforce so in turn would use their terminology, such as that

Nice voice
Please avoid being a doctor in the Stargate universe, a doctor that does bomb squad work to be exact....
Might have to get checked for any exploding tumours…
In first scene of first episode of SGA when Atlantis leaves earth fly's jumper over antarctica. So they were not developed in Pegasus galaxy.
I wonder if the Lanteans/Ancients moved some of the Stargates into planetary orbit in an attempt to stop or slow the spread of the Wraith?
Definitely possible. They must have done a chunk of the gate network and then realised that the Wraith developed the Darts that could dial the gates, so just stopped lifting gates into orbit. Could also be for Gating to planets that have toxic/unstable ground.
@@Gatetraveller1 Imagine the looks on the faces of the first Wraith to come out of the other side of a gate into hard vacuum.

@@Gatetraveller1 do we ever learn how the Wraith reverse-engineered bits of a DHD into the Darts? 🤔

Several milions ago the ancient were still on Earth..
Good casting for SG1 and Atlantis.
Originally named gate ship nice reference lol
It’s a ship, that goes through the gate…
Nice video. The volume got a little quiet at the end. Almost like you were whishipering.
I had to re-record a few sections in a different location, so sounded a bit different.
@@Gatetraveller1 You weren’t hiding from Wraith?

‘Originally named Gate Ship’ is a joke towards Rodney McKay always being told his name for the puddle jumpers was silly.
