Feel like Stargate SG-1 had a much better approach for this. Send an anthropologist, a techy, the muscle and the team lead. Probably would have been a little more realistic if they had a squad of Navy Seals go first, but I think half they time they allude that they did off screen.
I always wondered if the Atlantis team went to recover the MALPs when they exited a space gate. I mean, it can’t get TOO far, given how slow it moves, but space is big and empty and by the time a mission gets approved it could be many miles away in a big empty void.
From what I remember of what little Stargate I’ve seen, a fair bit of it is “let’s go see what happened to the Navy Seals” (or whatever spec ops they sent). The best way to do that being to sent the upper management of the project, as is tradition.
I’m not sure that’s true, honestly. Sure, you’ve got the Major General that very rarely travels through the gate, but the front-line first into unknown field unit is led by the next most senior officer. A bit wild having a bird Colonel in command of a 4-man fire team, isn’t it?

Super SG-1 nerd here, they often speak of the “marines” that get sent in to scout places first.
That said, the “front-line team”, as they are called here and there, gets priority on a lot of the big missions.
Besides, you really think sg-12 is capable of tackling a galaxy-ending scenario every 6-12 months? They can barely sort their crayons at chow time.

They send a disposable robot first, technically.
How big was the video cable drum? That wormhole seemed quite long.
MALP tumbles off into space
“Well, there goes another MALP…”
