I saw it last night, enjoyed it but am confused about the following...

Spoiler! When you saw the Alien bloke get into his cockpit in order to set the ship to travel to Earth, I thought this would be what they find in Alien. The ships crashes, which would make sense because the ship they find in Alien isn't underground, yet he gets out and dies in the shuttle? I know David said that there were other ships but I presumed these were all underground like this one, then again the ship they find in Alien which has the dead Alien bloke sat in the cockpit, has a lot of room around it unlike in the ship they're on in Prometheus. I think I'm confusing myself a lot here but can anyone enlighten me on the matter...

Spoiler! Its not the same ship. Infact its not the same planet. The whole concept behind "explaining" Alien was to give some ideas for your imagination. Prometheus happens on LV-223, Alien/Aliens happens on LV-426. Different planet entirely. In my mind, as per the film, the engineers spent a lot of time experimenting and creating things for war. Its the reason most of them were killed off in Prometheus, something went wrong (hologram bit and all the dead bodies). The Planets around Calpamos are explained to be somewhat of War research outposts. Hence all the pods etc.

In my mind, on LV-426, a similar thing happen with the Alien infection getting loose. There are plenty of possibilities as to how Alien started with knowledge laid out in Prometheus, but Prometheus film has nothing to do with it directly.
