*** Considering the Earth has a population of 20 billion, I don't think the intrinsic moral value of a human matters much anymore to deem a high death rate as a deterrant from exploiting Pandora. Unobtanium had uses besides making interstellar travel a lot simpler and is worth a ton back on Earth because of this, which is why the RDA were so motivated to mine all of it.

** It would have worked better if they setup a self-sustaining colony in Pandora's system and built the expensive suff in system so they didn't need to ship it. They could have done it in less time and for less money than the film's approach. In this scenario Pandora would be the hub of interstellar travel and Earth would be the capital and scientific/cutural center of the human space empire. Of course that implies humans plan on taking over Pandora's system entirely, which means the Navi are dead no matter what happens. But if we did things logically then Cameron couldn't have his aseops.

*** Those auto-factories produce the basic equipement with lithography. I was talking about the parts for the dragon gunship and shuttles that have to be imported. They should have set up space habitats around pandora so and encouraged the employees to settle in the system. That way the have a permanent population base to draw from and they can develope more industrial production. The have antimatter geneating particial accelerators in the system to fuel their ships so they must have at least a few hundred perminent space employees.

 

*** In fact, Quaritch doesn't just say he wants to send Jake out on "the next shuttle," he explicitly says Jake is leaving ''tomorrow'', so yes, they had one ready to go.
