“Suspected” nothing: we all know a Stargate when we see one.

Hopefully, they find the DHD or at least put an iris on it.

It's already half buried. Just finish the job. You don't need an iris if the wormhole can't connect.

They got O'Neill back after an asteroid buried the gate in season... 3? Let the event horizon clear out a cavity, then dig out.

They bent the rules with that episode. It's been a while since I watched it, but I think they had the gate on when it got buried and the rock molded to the active gate and formed an inpromptu iris. So the rock wasn't blocking the initial formation of the wormhole.

I just saw it the other day, it's the only reason i remembered.

8ft diameter is quite small by today's standards for a separation ring. Even Mercury Atlas rockets were 10ft in diameter. 8ft is more on the scale of weapons systems or maybe medium-lift launch vehicles.

Kenya has a space agency. TIL
