My favorite one was Halo 2's manual. Greatest thing ever.
The LE one is cool as fuck. It's written from the POV of Thel 'Vadamee analysing the human weapons and tactics used on Alpha Halo and his recommendations for deployment in the Battle of Earth. >tfw I have both versions of H2's manual

Where are we up to in the overarching story?
I did post a summary of SpOps and Escalation up to now in your other thread, y'know....

I spent my money on games this year on FC4, GTAV and Titanfall.my birthday is at the end of any h so I'll probably get it then.

Why do people care about the rocket launcher when the sword sucks so much ass it blinds you when you hold it.
I really hope they fix that.
Yeah. One of my few complaints about H5 was how I ende up avoiding the sword as it just blocks half the screen.
Personally, I like the new rockets- looks way more functional now. I really hope they do the same to the 'Hog and Scorpion, and make them actually look like feasible military vehicles.
For the scorpion it could look something like this with the tracks on each side being connected. It looks like an actual tank and it still retains a similar design.
Even going the route of the Grizzly from Halo wars and Spartan Assualt would be better; thicker armour and now the turret to above the driver so they any be sniped out. That alone would increase the functionality like, 100%.

No. Most of the time, I won't actually talk to people unless I have to.
Are you sure you're not a SPARTAN-II?
I wish.

Everything in gears looks like it came from the mind of a 12 year old.
With a good sprinkling of 40k for good measure.

Betelgeuse going supernova one day. That shits supposed to be brighter than the moon for several weeks and will even be visible in the day time. Gonna be so cool. Just imagine seeing it hen it actually happens. Just looking into the sky and seeing this silent space explosion come up out of nowhere.
And the sad thing is we won't be around to see it.

Because at some point, some idiot will end up coming in like LOL UNIVERSE IS 6000 YEARS OLD SCIENCE A SHIT
This has literally nothing to do with what I said. My post has nothing to do with religion. The problem of vacuum energy is a really interesting discussion, and you just disregarded it because you assumed it was theological.
OT: Another interesting fact: Observed from any point in space, the rest of the universe appears to be expanding away from that point. Pic for example:
Well in that case, my bad.
Yeah, expansion is scary, espcaially when considering in about 100 billion years the acceleration will reach light speed and we won be able to see anything outside of our own galaxy.
I thought it was speculated the universe's expansion rate was faster than the speed of light?
No. It's accelerating- if it were faster than 3x10^8m/s, then we wouldn't be able to see other stars or galaxies. Of course, it could have already reached that point but we won't know until one day, andromeda just suddenly disaapears. However, we can see galaxies that are trillions of ly away and none of them are disappearing so expansion hasn't reached light speed yet.

Honestly I don't know a lot (other than common knowledge) about space off the top of my head. I know in Physics we learned things about orbits. I know that astronauts orbiting Earth aren't in a zero gravity environment, instead they are constantly accelerating towards it. There is a belt of satellites in geostationary orbit with the earths equator. And something about the earth, electromagnetism, the sun, and us dying. I wasn't in a Physics class for over a year so things are kind of fuzzy.
I know what you mean.
When the sun emits a solar flare, it's a stream of charged particles. If they collide with or atmosphere, they could ionise it and cause a worldwide EMP. Needless to say, knocking out the planet's electricity would be catastrophic.
Kind of. Isn't there an electromagnetic field flowing from our south to north poles that shields us from solar winds or something like that? I think we learned that if the poles flipped we might all die.
Here's a diagram
Well, it would wreak havoc on any instrument that was affected by our magnetic field- planes, ships, satellites, everything like that would die.

Hell, at this point it could cause the collapse of civilization.

the term used to describe what happens when a person or object is stretched from the massive amount of gravitational force generated by a black hole's event horizon, is spaghettification, or the "noodle effect"
And surprisingly, for once, Ryle isn't shitposting.

Also, if you're a believer in the multiverse theory, then the formation of a universe that can support life is a mathmatical certainty.
First of all, that's simply not true. Even an infinite number of alternate universes doesn't imply the expression of all possible configurations. And no, I don't "believe" in multiverse theory because there's no evidence to support it. It's largely fantasy and fun speculation right now. String theory is a joke.
It's about as likely as an all knwing god. Or precursorsalien life making everything.
I'm not sure what this has to do with anything. Why are you criticizing my original post?
Because at some point, some idiot will end up coming in like LOL UNIVERSE IS 6000 YEARS OLD SCIENCE A SHIT And y'know what? This has been the best discussion I've had on here in a long time, and I'd prefer that it doesn't get ruined by idiots.

Not entirely space related but;
Physicists are made of atoms. A physicist is an attempt by an atom to understand itself.
I love using this to blow people's minds, similar to how 95% of the space in an atom is empty (IE the space between subatmoic particles) so tha means 95% of everything is nothing.

The cosmological constant of the universe is precisely fine-tuned to not only the capability of life to form, but for the universe to have not collapsed immediately after the Big Bang, to the scale of 120 orders of magnitude, and that there is nothing close to an explanation for this.
Please don't start trying to ruin what is currently an amazing thread. Also, if you're a believer in the multiverse theory, then the formation of a universe that can support life is a mathmatical certainty.

roughly 1500 planets have been discovered orbiting other stars outside of Sol, and each star, on average, has at least one planet orbiting it. Roughly 400 of these planets are Earth-Sized and within the habitable zone of their host star.

Rogue planets- planets that do not orbit a star, instead orbiting the supermassive black hole sagttiarius A at the centre of the Milky Way- are likely more common than regular panets.

PSR J1748-2446 is the fastest spinning object known. It's a neutron star that's literally harder than diamonds. Its matter is packed so tightly into a sphere ~30km wide, that it can withstand its fucking ridiculous rotation speed of 716 rotations per second. Proportionately that's like our Earth spinning around over twice per second instead of once per 24 hours. It spins faster than any powertool in existence.
Neutron stars are amazing.
Yeah, they really baffle me at times.
They're like, the little brothers of black holes, or the tagalong kid that is desperately truing to copy the cool crowd but ends up sticking out even more. It's weird, I think, that the densest object in the universe emits no light at all yet the second densest is the brightest object in the universe.
They really straddle on the lines of a black hole. A thing that amazes me about them is starquakes. If a starquake occurred near our solar system it could very well cause a mass extinction.
The Gamma bursts they emit are pretty scary to think about, too. One anywhere near earth could wipe out the entire planet in a few seconds.
