We all know that Twinsen have to travel to Island CX in order to prevent the rocket engines on the Moon from starting. We also learn that the rockets are indestructible.

But in the very final cutscene when Twinsen stands in the Well of Sendells and goes all Street Fighter on the Moon, we see several Esmer space shutlles flying towards the moon and drops a nuke on the rocket engine causing them to blow up and the moon stops in its tracks.

As a kid I didn't noticed this HUGE plot hole but now when at age of 24 it is VERY noticeable :D

Maybe Quite simply the statement that it was indestructible was an exaduration, tbh nuking it in operation was allways going to end one way.

I always thought they might have meant "unstoppable" rather then indestructible.
ie. Blow them up, and it wouldn't stop the movement by itself.

Is it possible that it was just translated weird? If I remember correctly, the original language for the game is French (but I'm not sure)

One thing that I noticed as I got older is that Twinsen and Zoey aren't married, and yet she had a baby XD When I was that age I assumed every couple having a baby was married, haha!

The original language IS french, I played both of them in french, I'd buy them instantly if the option was available in the GOG release, as it's my main language :p

And yes it could be a translation error, if I ever replay the game in french, i'll be sure to post here and say what was originally meant as i've forgotten about all of this.

The word used in the french version is "indestructibles", which means... well... indestructible... the translation is accurate.
Congratulations Ghostbreed, you discovered a huge plot! :D

I really don't know why people keep validating this 'plot hole'. Quite simply, there's a difference between Baldino or Twinsen saying / believing something is indestructable, and it actually being so. From their perspective the rockets were indestructable, as they didn't have any way to destroy them. The Esmers did. It's really not a big thing.
