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.
They send a disposable robot first, technically.
MALP tumbles off into space
"Well, there goes another MALP..."
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.
