I've just checked the script... and come back to the thread to find that Shadow has beaten me to the answer! Just so you know, though, I came up with the same number (it's on page six).
The number of colonists is one of the things I didn't like about the whole New Krypton arc. The number always struck me as being ridiculously low... especially since the NKers seemed far more interested in fighting each other than working out how to survive! Plus, why would Clark think it worth leaving Earth with its billions of people for such a small number of NKers? And how many of that thousand were on the ship that came to Earth, rather than getting on with life on their rock?
If you write a story about the planet having too few people to be viable, I'd be really interested to see the result. This seems like a realistic scenario -- or as realistic as anything could be in fantasy-land, anyway!
