[net.movies] ST II TWoK, tiny spoiler

In the 23rd century how could the Genisis device been used on "..some
planet within our solar system" as someone suggested on the net ?? 
Obviously by then, mankind will be exploiting entirely new star systems!
All of our "own planets" will have some sort of colony on it.

	Personally, I thought that Khan was activating the star ships
self-destruct mechanism (obviously a timed-destruct).  How else could
such a complex device have been installed so quickly?  Even with his
gang of super-humans, all they beemed up was the "bomb" itself and I
don't remember seeing it on the bridge.  Matter of fact, did he ever
really learn *what* the Genisis device did?  When he first started
looking for it, he curiousity had been tweaked by the secrecy.

ps. I assume the ships self-destuct sequence would trigger genisis, not
destroy it.
