Discussion The Fifth Race Spoiler

The room that they gate into could very well be just a box in space, and I'm wondering if there's anything later to contradict this.

If the only purpose is to hold the Ancient archive then it wouldn't need to be ON a planet, right?

They say much later that they had expeditions there to figure out some stuff about that room, but nothing came of it. What's really annoying that this reminds me of is that they can calculate the position from the gate adress. Why didn't they go and check what's outside the room when they eventually got hyperdrive capable ships?

There are quite a number of planets that I'm surprised that we never re-investigate once we have functional spaceships. We never go to New Tollana to see what happened to thr Tollan, never send people to the planet/ship/place with this room to see if there are more Alteran Ruins to discover, never send linguists to Heliopolis to decipher the language of the Four Great Races, never return to Harlan's planet to learn more about that advanced technology, never try to communicate with the Re'tu or a few other Anti-Goa'uld civilizations which could be peers/allies, revisiting Bedrossia/Optricia, Euronda post-Breeder Victory, the Galarans and the Enkarans, and recovering the naquadah asteroid.
