Maybe.  Maybe not.  You are assuming that the revisionist version of
what happened in that shuttle on the way down is correct for Rachel's
timeline as well as ours.  Not Necessarily So.  In Rachel's timeline,
things may have gone the way it was originally told before Shooter stuck
his oar in, i.e. none of this simulacrum nonsense.  This would put the
point of divergence between the two universes slightly earlier than has
been stated in the past, but this is a minor revision compared to what
has just happened.
