In reply to tiger. They aren't scientists though. They are the futuristic equivalent of oil rig workers. The Nostromo was a mining vessel. They were on their way home from an excavation when the Nostromo picked up the acoustical beacon from the derelict on LV-426. The company they worked for had a clause in their contract that any distress beacon must solicit a response. failure to do so would be met with "total forfeiture of shares". So if they didn't respond to the beacon these miners would not have been paid for their haul.

Just watched (half of) Alien 1, so dumb I gave up on this “classic” (of what?) Breaking safety protocol by “disciplined” scientists bringing an “infected” person aboard ; when the alien escapes these idiots forget to close the infirmary door and just poke around after a creature whose “blood” is highly corrosive and, duh, obviously dangerous? The moronic greed of the hired hands…?
The blatant stupidity of the crew is sickening. I know that in real life Americans are dumb as rocks but this is fantasy – can’t you, for once, make Americans at least look smart? Or is it beyond you?
Ridley, stick to adverts.
