I think it's probably covered off by the fact that there were 'other ships'. Like the one they left on at the end.There's a really good bit with Mike out of Neighbours doing a seminar as a young man in the DVD extra bits. Which kind of makes more sense of him being wrinkly later.

I wondered if they were going to do some 'young' scenes... or maybe make a pre-prequel later onI like that get-out, so that they can make the prequel plot more exciting and less predictable. I'll use it next time. "Oh yeah, it was another moon where an identical ship crashed in a similar landscape and the crew died in strikingly similar ways. Honest."

The extras are worth watching.The Weyland speech is great, although a few of the other videos are just arty bollocks.
