If you have a complaint about the game, just take a step back and remeber how lucky you really are to even be in possesion of it when compared to the millions of people suffering around the world with not even a roof over their heads.
OKAY. PLEASE READ THIS AND FINALLY LET THIS TOPIC DIE.

First of all, mars is inside the milky way galaxy.
Master chief, at the end of halo 3 is not.
Master chief is in a ship that is traveling at less than the speed of light.
The distance from anywhere outside the galaxy to mars would be several thousand light years.( I do apologise for not having an exact number, but I'm fairly sure I am correct.)
A light year is a measurement of distance, which basically means how much distance light would travel in a year.
Now if we go back to the point where I mention that Master Chief's ship is not traveling as fast as light, and we add to that the fact that there are only two hundred years between halo and marathon, it is safe to assume, master chief would not be able to get there in time, even if the ship was able to maintain power for that two hundred years and was traveling at precise co-ordinates to mars.
Also remember that that thermal image was not just randomly put down by Bungie employees, it was part of the halo canon in which the forerunners were gathering data, and I think this was just to add depth to the idea that they were scanning the planets for life to put on the ark.
If this thermal was in fact put down deliberately in order to give us a clue about a marathon tie in, that would suggest that going into an alternate universe was planned, but, if you remember, the collapse of the portal and the failed lighting of a halo was certainly not part of their plan.
Also consider that master chief was heading into orbit around a planet which was quite clearly not mars, and I say this because the Mars I remember had other planets nearby and was not covered in gunmetal gray Forerunner symbols
I also would like to know why this image in the Iris would have anything to do with the legendary ending anyway, I may have missed this part out whilst reading the theory, but I honestly can't see a connection.
