Agreed.
Humans do not always speak accurately. They use hyperbole...a lot. "This is the worst day of my life!" is a common refrain I hear from many humans in my day to day work.
There would be no need to strip the ship down to the bone to study it. They could easily disect the vessel while its still in one piece.
And VOY already transmitted all of its ships logs, crew reports and navigational data to Starfleet when Barclay established a brief real time communications link with VOY via artificial wormhole in Season 6.... so Starfleet had access to all of the technology VOY acquired up to that point (which was already quite a lot - Slipstream v1 and v2 were part of it too).
So, I think SF started developing some possible options, but it wasn't until VOY returned that the R&D got a boost because it was VOY crew who had the most experience and SF also had the ship itself to study.
That's what I meant. Not literally turning the ship into scrap and loose conduits. 
Well, if that's accurate, then certain things from future Admiral Janeway's timeline did come to pass... which was inevitable either way.
But I definitely like the fact that Prodigy already integrated those future janeway's uniforms we saw all the way back to TNG All good things... and commbadges.
One would imagine much of the tech was sent to various institutes for replication and training on it's work, while the ship itself is a museum and features collectible plates and T-Shirts that say "VOY" on it.That's what I meant. Not literally turning the ship into scrap and loose conduits.
Yeah, the ablative armor generators and other add-on tech supervised by the alternate timeline Admiral Janeway were probably removed and sent to Starfleet Intelligence or the Daystrom Institute(or both) and the ship restored to what she looked like in her heyday. The ideal museum ship with no sensitive equipment still installed.
Jankom wasn't working with the weapons system on the console though.
He was fiddling with the engine system.
Why would they have to strip the ship down, since Belana and Paris could explain exactly how they put it together to begin with.
Plus all that info would be in the ships computer readily available to download.
All the museum would have to do is keep it turned off
Well, I'D remove sensitive future tech just to be on the safe side.
Same here. Nothing I wouldn't be looking in to to ensure it's safety. Especially if it is just going to sit in the museum, and be open to anyone attempting to take it.Well, I'D remove sensitive future tech just to be on the safe side.
"Don't touch the armor deployment controls. They're from 15 years into the future."
"What?"
"Nothing."
"What?"
"Nothing."
"Before we take this tour I'm just going to need you to sign here...here...and here."
"What are these?"
"Oh, standard forms, you know, assumption of risk, temporal prime directive adherence, commitment to keeping these things top secret. You know...the usual. Ok, we're walking, we're walking..."

You'd think there's be a safety switch of some kind for tactical weapons. Like a trigger guard.. Also, would the weapons have even been armed?
This felt like the weakest installment of Prodigy thus far. My main issue with it is that the entire "problem" would be resolved with about two minutes of talking to each other.
It makes sense that Gwyn would freak out and leave when she learns her father is on board with Starfleet due to her past trauma; however, the other kids all meet other Starfleet crewmembers and nobody even tries to explain their situation.
This is especially true of Dal. He actually talks to Janeway for a moment about wanting to join Starfleet but he cowers away the minute the guy from the outpost shows up. The guy makes what is a pretty crazy accusation and Dal doesn't even try to say, "It was an accident" or "Theres a trap on the ship!" He just runs off even while Janeway yells something to the effect of "They are just kids." Keep in mind that the entire goal of these kids has been to make it to Starfleet, and later to warn them about the ship, yet standing directly in front of Janeway, Dal does neither.
So, having been too scared/panicked to even speak up, Dal and the others still have the presence of mind to steal a transport and outmaneuver at least three security guards. They board their vessel and then while trying to escape, Dal claims that they can't even answer a hail to explain themselves... hmmm. If only you had the chance to TALK with Janeway face to face about 5 minutes ago, huh?!?
This whole episode struck me as a bit dysfunctional. At moments, they appear to be too terrified/untrusting of Starfleet to even speak with them, and at other moments, the kids act like Starfleet is a utopia that they have to protect even at risk of their lives. For these reasons, I rated this a 5 or a "Meh" episode. It was mildly entertaining, but this was one of the first times I felt like the plot was almost condescending to its intended (younger) audience.

Not in Star Trek.
Lwaxana almost did the same thing.
Struck me as a very kid thing to do, especially a traumatized one. We adults like to think talking is the default but it isn't in all cases.
Don’t ask. It’s very confusing.
Something went boom. Spock vanished and Romulus is gone. That’s all you need to know
It was a tad disappointing that the chase continues. And a bit convoluted to get there. But Rok called them out on it. They were smart to hide the ship, but dumb on their chances to explain the situation.
Count me as a fan on the return of Okona (I've never hated that episode).
