Of all the bad ideas to happen in that movie, including the "let's not let the audience know what the robot said to the alien", that has to be the most baffling. All it did was break immersion. Why couldn't the ship have fallen over and slid down the mountain? It's would have been as terrifying as an avalanche in a survival movie.
FYI if you really want to know there's a guy on YouTube (Kroft) that has done dozens of very good videos on the Alien movies. He breaks down what was said as it was in the original script. And it's interesting and would have made a better movie, but I think Scott chickened out of the potential controversy.
Long and short of it is that >!2000 years ago the Engineers had taken a human to their home world and trained him and enlightened him and sent him back to earth to spread the message but his compatriots nailed him to a cross.!<
There's more to it, but go watch Kroft's videos if you want to know more.
So he was making a sequel to The Prometheus and Bob Tapes?
I want that two minutes and twenty-five seconds of my life back.
