    SG-1 was an amazing series. I bet I was too young to really appreciate it the first time around.

    People don’t realise it, but current physics explains everything we’ve ever measured. We know there must be more from theoretical arguments, but it probably comes up very rarely, so in a lot of ways the alien engineers will be doing the exact same stuff as us. Most likely, bunkers and kinetic impactors will be just as effective as against other humans.

    Strong AI and something resembling nanotech are the main things that should be possible, but that we can’t do yet. Everything a living organism can do should be replicable. There’s also a lot of things we just haven’t spent the money on, which covers most space stuff.
