I say we send the Nostromo to Titan. :-)
In the movie, it actually looked like they had landed there, cloudy
atmosphere, cold, and ringed planet in the sky.
I'd still would like to know how they could get that whole giant
refinery complex up to over the speed of light.
Starfleet didn't have a finger on that type of technology, even if
maximum warp speed for the whole works was pretty low.

I didn't know where "Sulaco" came from BTW, assuming that both it and
Nostromo were either Chinese or Japanese owned spacecraft, based on the
sound of their names:
