Orientation of space gates
During Thirty-Eight Minutes, while the team is flying towards the space gate back to Atlantis with Shepard in the back with a klingon facehugger Iratis bug around his neck, Ford tells the pilot (Stackhouse I think) that the transition is all automated once you get close enough.
I assume part of this automation is making sure the jumper is flying towards the gate the right way up, because without the base and ramp you'd get on a ground gate, there's no real way to know which way is "up" just by looking at it
All I'm saying is.
I kinda wish we'd had an episode where the automation failed and the team flies back through the gate and arrives in Atlantis completely upside down. And then maybe the jumper automatically disengages its internal gravity once it knows it's home lol
